Hi all,
I played this hand last night (see attachment) and was knocked out of a live £35 buy in £5000 guarantee tournament and was wondering if I could have done anything different. I’m guessing I shouldn’t have shoved pre flop but I don’t think it would have ended differently if I had just raised or called pre flop raise.
Blinds: 2000/4000 6max
Average stack 185,000
Hero: KK (approx 200k stack)
UTG:TT (approx 300k stack)
UTG+1:AA (approx 130k stack)
UTG: raise 10,000
UTG+1: re raise to 25,000
Hero: shoved 200,000ish all in because I knew UTG+1 loved his hand and based on previous aggressiveness I was 99% sure he’d call and I was only losing to aces. UTG was also raising anything so expected him to fold like in previous hands.
UTG: thinks for a while and then says ‘I’m all in (more chips than me and UTG+1), I know I’m behind but I want to go out and get drunk!’ Hate reckless play like this when I’ve worked so hard and played so well all night. I just know he’s going to get lucky.
3 players all in, I flop a set of kings which was awesome! However, the flop contained three hearts and UTG had one ten heart. Turn 8 clubs, river Queen hearts so I lose to the player that didn’t even want to be there with the weakest pre flop hand by far.
I wouldn’t normally shove pre flop with so many chips but with all the action and previous play I was confident of a call with worse and even though I ran into aces, I beat them but lost to the hand that shouldn’t have been in the pot after calling a 4bet all in from a player who was playing quite tight (me). I know that beating the aces was pure luck so my shove was probably reckless, but I wanted UTG to fold and be heads up.
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your thoughts.
