Think about it.
thanks guys sorry honest mistake , next time will push for sure
You were locked into that pot after the flop, with the cards that were showing.
THERE WAS NO LAYING YOUR TRIPS DOWN!
There just wasn't hand that could beat you. Not one.
According to what you posted,
I...believe the Villain MIGHT..have called you even if you did push after the flop, or even if you had pushed before the flop.
I base that on how the Villain played the hand out. Just that one hand.
Only YOU have the knowledge of how the Villain had been playing in the tournament.
The problem is...
you saw the flop...and hit a hand you would have been a fool to fold. There was no hand that could beat you at that point. You were the winner.
The only FOLD option you had was on the Turn when HE might have hit a straight.
You still had 12 BB's left at that point....
but, you were holding those trips, and this guy had been betting into you....
And there's no way you know if he hit a straight or not.
THEN the decision was....
Gamble or not gamble with this fool who might have got lucky and just hit a straight?
You said you were shortstacked on the turn with 12 BB's left on the turn card.
He might have had a straight. But he had been betting into you the entire time.
WHAT THE HELL WAS HE BETTING ON?
IS THIS GUY A FOOL THAT JUST GOT LUCKY?
That's why...i fold pp A's preflop alot in tournaments, no matter my position, in sitiuations where I'm not the initial one allowed to raise, or go allin.
Prime #1 example.
Because after the flop, an idiot can take all your chips.
And if I'm playing to win, I'm not risking having to put so many chips in a pot to get to a river...and then be drowned. By a fish.
I might have folded preflop to this guy that bet into me 3x's the BB out of position.
I want to win the entire thing. Let him have 1 1/2 bb he just bought.
I would have most likely done that.
NO ONE..here knows how that guy had been playing for hours, or how he got that chip stack he had.
Keep that in mind while you're reading this good thread you started.
good luck on the tables DJ,
watch how they're playing their games, use that note section a lot to make player notes.
You never know, you may run into that guy again.
good fortunes my friend..
Robert.
