| Did i make a good call even though i lost the pot? Im at a final table (NLH) with 7 other players. Blinds are 200/400 and i have about 6500 chips and am chip leader. 5 of the other players have about 3000-4000 with a couple of short stacks with about 1500. The blind size has called for aggression which i have been taking advantage of because the other players have tighten up due to the bubble coming up an the fear of going out. As noone else is blind stealing too much i look looser than i actually am playing, anyway i pick up QQ in hijack position and raise to 1000 chips, the big blind goes all in for 3700 chips(which is under 10 BB), which will leave me 2800 if i call! I did call an he flipped over AK and won with two pair!! damn it! I then felt all my hard work of blind stealing was for nothing, because i made that call! I then came fifth an just won my money back. Was this a good call, or should i have sat back and waited for the others to make moves on each other? |

| I mean it depends on the regards of the tourny? how much it cost the payouts. depends on what your goal was" besides just winning the tournamnet" were you trying to make a profit, trying to win big. i mean what were your thoughts for the tournament?? |

| re: Did i make a good call even though i lost the pot? poker waited for the others to make moves on each other? it is not a solution for waiting others.. I am also hate QQ cause if I go allin,I always loose it so I prefer just check and see flop and other players reaction..not raise preflop Final table and last hands of tournament and blinds are going up.. You need chips and push out other players..you raised 1000k and then allin came by others.. QQ is not bad hand..and if I were you, I called,too sometimes you need like movements in tournament but as we saw, you lost other player had nothing with AK preflop but he won... |

| If you have a strong hand like that and nobody can touch your chip stack you make that call every time. QQ is better with only 1 or max 2 callers. With two callers you only have to beat the one with the larger chip stack most or the time to come close to breaking even and you knock off a player. |

| It was an unnecessary coinflip. But mathematically u r a bit favorite: ------------- QQ vs AK ------------- QQ - 53% of winning AKo - 46% of winning ------------------------------------------- But if u the chip leader IMHO, u can wait for some better spots, cuz blinds dont treath u. If ur target is only WIN the 1st place, u made it right. Not a bad call, bad situation, bad beat! Its only my opinion, i can also be wrong, see u at tables! |
