I played pretty solid poker, Won a couple pots early and jumped out to a 8000 chips then went card dead for most of the mid stages of the tourney. We get close to the bubble and I only have about 6000 which was around average. I loosen up and start attacking blinds, I dont care about making the money, I want a top 5 finish. I built up my stack to 20000, without really showing down a hand except for my AK vs a 99 small stack.
I make the money and am card for a while. I successfully steal blinds twice in three orbits, but had to fold for a reraise allin. Anyway, theres 50 people left, I have about $17000 in chips, well below average. Chip leader over $70,000. The player to my immediate right made the money extremely short stacked but picked up AK, AK, KK all in the last orbit, and now has $28,000.
He opens for $4000 in MP, with blinds of 800/1600. I pick up AQ of hearts.
Basically, i have about 10 BB left. I just felt that he had me dominated but with my goal of top 5, I start to have visions of him having JJ TT 99.
I told myself i dont want to bust out of the tourney with AQ or pocket pairs under 55.. Its been the death of me lately.
So I decided to fold and wait for a better spot, I still have a couple orbits where I could double up a few times to make a run at the final spots...
That makes sense, doesnt it. But I actually went allin
Please post what you would do and why? Im curious?Statistics: Posted by Eman — Fri Mar 10, 2006 12:57 pm
