$5 and 1 on Ultimate Bet. 245 entrants.
With about 150 people still in, I have just over 1600, and we started with 1500. Blinds are at 30 and 60.
I get KK in middle position. 1 limper to me and I raise to 200 (not enough perhaps? I didn't want everyone to fold but also wanted to protect my KK). 1 caller one off the button, as does the limper.
Flop is 6 2 9, rags. Limper bets 200. I raise to 400. Guy one of the button calls, as does limper. Should I have moved all in here?
Turn is another 9. Limper bets 300. I move all in. Guy one off the button calls, limper folds. Opponent has A9, for trip 9s on the turn.
Should I have raised more pre-flop here? Possibly. The other thing I could have done in retrospect is move all in on the flop, and pick up the pot there- but I felt that was playing a little scared, and that I needed to get as much value as I could with my overpair. In the end, that desire finished me.
My next multi was the big $5 party one. Just after the first break, I have 1200, about half the average stack. Blinds are at 75 and 150.
I get KK in 2nd position. Raise it to 450 (again, as I am shortstacked, very much looking for action). Called in 5 spots (so much for respect) to the small blind who goes all in. I call all in, as does one of the others. The small blind has AA. The other guy has KK. This is the first time I have ever had KK and been up against both KK and AA at the same time.
I think this must be the worst spot I have ever been in with all my money in the middle. With the other 2 kings out, I needed to hit a board with a 9, 10, Q and J! The calculator says this makes me a between 1 and 2% chance of winning (depending on if he had one or even both aces of my kings' suits- something that passed me by as I had chucked my laptop out the window by that point).
Can anyone beat this as having been a bigger underdog preflop for all their money in hold'em?!Statistics: Posted by Telemachus — Mon Mar 14, 2005 4:58 am
