I had already posted this in another thread, but it was the wrong one.
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and relatively new to poker in general, still playing low stake tournaments without much success and some low stakes cash games.
The other day I was at a tournament, level was 1000/2000 with 300 ante. I was SB with A9s, sitting on just over 10BB (about 21k in chips). UTG+2 opens to about 4200 (he was sitting on about 50-55k I think), its folded round to me, I think about it for a bit and decide to shove. Folded round back to him and after a long time thinking he decides to call.
He turns over 93s (spades) and long story short he rivers a flush and beats me.
Now would you say that was a bad all in on my behalf? I felt quite upset at the time as I thought he shouldn't have called with that. What do you guys think?
Sometimes you play against idiots who either love to gamble or are just plain stupid. It's part of the game. 3b-shoving 10bb with A9s is fine; you got your money in good.
Yep, jam is fine. Even if villain had the goods, jam still fine. 10BB in the blinds, cant ask for much better given the tiny size of your stack.
Agree, when the actual hand of villain is wierd, just omit it in your thread so you get proper strategy analysis, such as the "range" of hands villain might hold and your "equity" versus this range.
