Hello,
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me. Here is an example of what I'm talking about. Last night I'm in a 10+1 3k guaranteed. Tourney started with 350 and I small balled my way to an above average chip stack of 6k with around 70 left. 45 make the money. I had been sitting and waiting for a little while for a reasonable hand when I received JJ in middle position. Someone called the 300 blind from UTG. It was then folded to me when I raised to 2150 really just hoping to take the blinds and the call. It then folded around to the SB who called. At that point I'm suspicious of the callers hand. There are just 2 of us to the flop which is a beautiful one for me. It comes 458 rainbow. The small blind immediatly pushes all in and has me covered. Ok, at this point after my raise I am just above 10BB with blinds changing in a few minutes which would put me under 10 BB. After a little thought I decided that the quick all in by the SB could have easily been an AK bluff or a he might have had middle pair. I thought he would have reraised all in pre flop with AA or KK. Which only leaves one hand that I really feared which was QQ. So I called hoping for the best. And then He turned over his QQ and took all my bread leaving me speechless for at least 25-30 minutes. I mean I played good poker for 2 hours only to get crushed as soon as I had a decent hand. Did I do the right thing by calling. I mean if he turned over AK I would have looked like a genious right? What would you have done in the exact situation? ........................... Starting to really get frustrated here
