First let me start off by saying welcome to cardschat. I'm a new member myself. As for the hand, i'm not sure that i would have called when he went all-in. You must have known that he had a strong hand to push all-in but you had him covered and called anyway. Luckily you caught the 9 on the turn and avoided a club on the river. I didn't mind the pre-flop raise because even though it was in a bad position, it was during the later stages of the tournament. But I still think you could have gotten away from the hand when he pushed all-in since you didn't have much invested. Just be careful in the future in similar situations. Most of the time it will go the other way and you could lose all your chips. Just my opinion though. Hope that helps and good luck in the future.

You have an M of 10.5, I don't like the raise here with a non-broadway Ace. You can't flop a ST8 and are only hoping for T2P or a flush. I am either open shoving or folding depending on how I read the table (shove if their tight, fold if not) .

I don't like the pattern A9 from the first position,even if suited, and the next call after ollina opponent.

You got a lot lucky there, A9s is not a safe hand, playing in UTG its terrible, he did right I would push all in too with this raise.

I agree with most in that A9 suited is not strong enough, especially when opponent shoves. You got lucky, but that's poker. Your opponent is probably telling the same story in the Bad Beats section.
Good luck.

Congrats on a winning hand but the truth is that you should not be even involved in this hand in first place. UTG1 is a good position to easy fold that hand

In my opinion it wasn't necessary to bet it. Anyway congrats but A9suited isn't perfect hand to raise UTG :p

I don't like raising UTG with 22BB with A9 suited and when your opponent shoves you are very rarely ahead, sometimes it could be a flip but most of the time you are going to be dominated.

It was not a legal move because he gave all in on his raise, so he was fold for sure.

I actually don't mind the UTG raise here. It's late in the tourney and a steal or flat calls will happen enough to make it worthwhile. On the other hand, I would only make this play with the intention of folding to a reraise. Your representing a big hand with an UTG raise, so anyone reraising you is coming in with the goods. I'd probably fold this had in the first place unless the table is right and I have an image that elicits thin calls. I hope this helps buddy, keep learning!

Think this is the correct advice. You are only going to get called by a better hand in all cases and are in a tough spot if an ace hits the board with an average kicker. I would just limp with the hand and either hope for the 2 pair or a few hearts to put you in position to take down the pot. I don't like the call of an all in for nearly half your chips knowing he isn't pushing with a weak hand and you are at best in a coin flip if he has 6s-7s-8s.

bad call, but you were lucky, A9s at UTG is not strong enough to play after reraise

In this hand you're in luck! With these hole cards on UTG after a raise you need to fold. This is my opinion.

i think this is bad call, cos you are in early position and raise with A9s. this starting hand not strong enough to make a raise in early position. but this is poker anything can happend. but in the long run its not good idea.

Hi friend, I think you were very risky since you only had a project in color and high card, your opponent had very good hand and you took the boat with some luck because your opponent is missing a single card to achieve a Good color is what I believe.

I don't know if you're in the money or not. If you're on the bubble then I wouldn't have raised. I limp here and see if I get the flop for cheap. If I'm in the money then I will raise this hand. The raise might have been a little light. You basically made a pot size raise. Another 3500 on top of your raise may have been slightly better.
The villain only has about ten big blinds so after we see his hand we know that he is going to shove anyway. Your luck...umm I mean your variance did hold so you got to collect his chips which is the name of the game. If you can't take a chance then you won't make it in this game.

you got lucky and thas good =) congrats.
on a more serious note... why would you raise that UTG? You have ~23bb you are not pressured... and what happens if you get 4beted/shoved (like it did) you are putting all you tourney life hopping you opp shovess A8- or no pair ad what if you get 2-3 callers how strong would you A be in that sittuation. You have у decent stack !but! even if a short stack (like your opp) wins you are cut in half with a hand that you know you should not play =)

I wouldn't raise that preflop just a call cause 9 is weak kicker, you had big stack and was no need to take that risk lose half of your chips...was easy fold to his all -in you got lucky there you hitted 9 but your opponent had better cards

I agree with the consensus in that you should have folded from the start. I don't think your raise was all that bad but we didn't see how the table had been playing prior to that hand. If a min raise was taking down the blinds then the bet makes sense but if the table was playing back at ya then it was a bad move from the start. The 3 bet call was just bad and you got lucky, you risked half your stack with a hand that you had to know you were behind with. Welcome to CC and good luck on the felts!
