I was talking to one of my pro friends about this hand during play. He said to maximize EV I should have just called the all-in and let someone else come in. I disagree. In a tournment...maximzing EV (IMO) isn't as important as survival. If I let someone come in that flop and they beat me...I would never stop kicking myself. Thoughts?

I folded this AQ pretty easily. I didn't want to get in a race on the final table unless I had a significant chip advantage. The player was also very tight. My friend said he would have gone with it...but I think letting it go was correct.

This was obviously a monster hand. I did not like going after the big stack like this...but AK couldn't be let down. The big stack was making a lot of raises preflop...but I still couldn't will myself to reraise preflop. I did not want to risk all my money preflop.
My friend told me to value bet this river. I told him he was insane. AJ, AQ, any set were all beating me.
I ended up losing the tourney with AQ to 99. Only my second race of the day. And the only time I was covered. i stole a ton of blinds this tourney and I was very proud of taht.Statistics: Posted by kennyg — Thu Jun 30, 2005 2:30 pm
