This is in one of our weekly Blogger tournaments. About 100 people for a $10 tournament. We get all sorts of people playing these things. Really bad players and newbies to awesome high stakes people
On to the hand. 25/50 blinds. I have 1500 (starting stack still)
One of the really good players (Who is ranked high in the rankings and has made A LOT of 5 figure socres lately) opens from EP to 150. He has been playing really loose so far. His range is really wide.
I pick up TT and pop it to 500. I hadn't played many hands yet in the 30 hands or so in this tournament. Then the SB, a guy who I don't know and who has been playing tight raises to 1100 (he started with 2200). This screemed huge strength, obviously. It is basically a min-4-bet. I don't know about you, but when I see 4-bets like that, it has to be a hand that crushes me (AA, KK, or QQ). If I am being generous and include AK and JJ in has range, I am about a 2:1 dog there.
Obviously, If I decide to continue with the hand, it will be for my stack. so I have to call 1000 to win 2200. 2.2:1
I decided to fold and find a better spot with the 20 BBs I had left. Late in a tournament, I know that when you commit 1/3 of your stack, you should never fold. But I still had 20 BBs left after the hand.
Was this "so bad it's funny"?
