i push and go home before utg :)

SUMMARY
Total pot 6,680 | Rake 0
Board: [6h 5s Jd Ad Ts]
Seat 3: RummbelBee (big blind) showed [Ah Ac] and won (6,680) with three of a kind, Aces
Seat 6: WhoDeyGirl86 didn't bet (folded)
Seat 8: mtdpoker (button) didn't bet (folded)
Seat 9: propast (small blind) showed [Kh Kd] and lost with a pair of Kings


doesnt matter
these things happen - if it makes you feel better UTG probably finished in 3rd place so he did not get any money also
but if you had won (you had the odds for that) it would make you the chip leader
so it was worth it! ;)


Right but you should definately tighten up your range in these spots, you can't get away from KK though.


When i got my free $50, i lost it all with kk. Some1 raised 8 times the big blind, so i go all in and got called only to see he had 78 hearts and the flop came with 5 6 9 off suit. Lost it all to a donkey getting super lucky. What can you do. Thats the reason why i will never put any of my own money on a poker site. People like that spoil the game when they have luck like that. And theres no sceond chances with the $50 so i cant get any where with this site now. GONE GONE GONE........ freeroles again i guess

it looks to me like you should read the articles on bankroll management again... by what you say it seems you sat at a table with 50$

On the actual hand...
If you ended up calling anyway, you should have just went all in directly to maximise your fold equity and avoid having the big stack do this with any hand relying on the fact that you don't want to bust before UTG.
You should push, if you don't it means that there is no hand that you're going to play against the bigstack until UTG busts, and if UTG gets a bit lucky that might be 3/4 orbits, leaving you with few chips when it's 3 handed

Hi petar86,

I shove QQ+ all day in these spots. Unlucky. Just as long as you follow good bankroll management (unlike a certain poster in this thread), you should be fine :).
