i know i was commited to that pot..but i felt i was beaten...so i folded,,,cuz only 4th left...i lost it anyway...

what did i do wrong?

ps : the guy was rasing all the time pre flop...evry single hand..raise to 400 or 600...this hand he didn't rasie he just called..so he may had like sumthin big...and didn't want me to fold ( pre flop)..or maybe he had A 6..really donno ..help plz maybe he had 3 lol sick

thx!

On the bubble I play 2 ways... If I'm the big stack then I'm aggressive... If I short/medium I protect my chips and choose my spots carefully... In these spots I don't really want to risk my tournament life so:

flop: bet 200

Turn: check behind

River: Fold to a BIG bet and call a small one....

I like the potbet on flop

I prefer bet/folding turn though. It's a bit weak to fold top two pair, but his line looks strong. Bet/shoving turn cant be a big mistake either imo.

I agree with this. Although if I check the turn I almost always call the river. As played on the river we should call, but we should fold to the bigstack's raise on the turn!

Never shove the turn. It's a way ahead way behind situation so a shove makes very little sense as our opponent will rarely call us with worse.
