Poker Question at Stars

Question

As you can see i could coast to 2nd in this tournament, however if you see the hand below who would do what i did.  2nd is 135. 3rd is 90 bucks.  However as you can see if flop 2 pair then i hit the nut fullhouse.  Who wouldnt shove there.  Of course next card off gives him a higher full house but who agrees thats the correct play.

Come on Mannnn........U turn a  nutt boat...what&#x27;s your question

ShaukDaddy · Answer

basically the only question is would you be weary of going all in when the 3rd place guy is so short stacked. I dont regret my play i was just curious would your thinking change if you were right in the cut off money position. Where you get sucked out you win nothing as opposed to gaurentee of money.

Im curious to thinking,another hand happened at stars. Early in a SNG, i have 6/7 offsuit no raises flop comes 8,9,10, guy out of position goes all in instantly. rainbow. Since such little is invested could you fold the straight, i did some calculations and a chance for a low straight vs higher straight both hitting is 1/857,384. So its very unlikely, however i call and they flip of q/j.

Since so little is invested i regretted the call then i did the math and feel it was the right move. Just was a cooler

2nd place is $135&#xD;&#xA;3rd place is $90&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;Unless you make 3$ an hour working extremely hard labor and 45$ mean the world to you, you get all your chips in there at an absolute worst case scenario 88% favorite and never look back. Not trying to be a dick but how can you even ask?

It happens to everyone

johnnyfry · Answer

Just a cooler. Only one hand beats you and you have a king in your hand so the odds of him having KQ is remote. You played it fine. You cannot fold this hand often if ever if you hope to be taken seriously, especially with a connected hands with many other possible big hands that might have hit.

Only in a very very small situation would I ever fold this hand, and it would have to be a live hand with some very serious stakes as I would be fishing for information for at least 5 full minutes before folding.

no, he couldve pre flop shoved from l.b. ..give the man a chance to fold kq there.... always give a man a chance to fold....force him to call   u c what happened....keep turning boats son u b ok

wizardofroz · Answer

You played the hand PERFECTLY.  Bad beats are unfortunately a BIG part of poker.

Vividjohn · Answer

since, u wanted 2nd place. u could of 3x bet the turn of 750 3x. 2250. and wiated for the river. then seeing as a queen or ace was a potential better hand FH. u culd of folded to his probable all in.

but this is just sceanario. he mite of gone all in on the turn. reraise. tehn u still don't get to see the river card before hitting the allin butten.

but this is one potential way to possibly concrete at least a 2nd place finish.

sometimes it's not just math, on the cards in play, but match in table dynamics. a 750 call to 2250 raise. gives you several thousand in chips to seat 4 with his 550 in chips.

so those mathmatics look good. if you want a shot at his bounty head, and 2nd place.
