$Freeroll NLHE MTT: Funny moments in CardsChat tournaments
There are things that can't be explained or analyzed, so I called them funny moments. You could also post your funny moments in this topic so that players on the forum get more information in tournaments. Perhaps someone will even be able to explain what is happening.
I would like to share a situation that happened yesterday. I watched the WSOP 2020 stream hosted by Daniel Negreanu and participated in CardsChat $100 Daily. Aggressive players were at my table for half an hour. 5 bet, 10 bet, all-in is not a problem. The monster hand came to me at last. I noticed the main aggressor at the table, who participated in almost all the hands. He was in the tilt after losing part of his all-in stack. We haven't come face-to-face with it before, although I always play for 2-3 hours and often reach the prize zone. There was no point in raising the preflop stakes, so I decided to hide my hand and make sure there was no ace on the flop. The flop came out fine Js 8c 6d. My QQ hand checks and waits for the villain to pull some trick. Pot 350 chips and the villain goes all in 5118 chips. Oh, my God. Does he have two pairs or a set? No, no, no. You might think so if you haven't been following him all this time. He wanted everyone to fold and I read it. Even 80 % on winning didn't help me. PokerStars sometimes encourages such players unfortunately. I think the opponent's hand will surprise you at the end of this post.

I love, that you call it “funny moments”, because that is exactly, what it is. So many people take freerolls and micro stakes games way to serious and go on massive tilt, when they lose a hand like this. So big cadeau to you for not falling into that trap
That being said I think, you should have put in a good solid 3-bet preflop. You have the third best starting hand in NLH, so why not raise it up and get some value? And also protect your hand. Its almost a miracle, that BB did not come along for the ride, and 4-ways or even 3-ways the equity of a hand like QQ goes down a lot. Sure it kind of worked this time, since you got someone to pile in his entire stack with just a gutshot. But other times you get a bad flop with an A or K or maybe trips, and his semibluff will actually work. Or he outflopped you, and now you are paying him off. If you make a solid 3-bet, most likely 54o goes away, and you win a small pot. Or you get it heads up against the other guy and win against him. And while less funny, this is going to be more profitable in the long run

Totally agree. Raising pre flop is the best option here. If this villain is a maniac then he/she will not necessarily wait for the flop to get crazy and probably will raise your pre flop raise. This will not allow others in the hand and will allow you to play heads up against the nut job. With QQ, you will happily get in pre here and let the cards fall as they may.

CC freerolls have definite phases. The 1st phase (usually the first 30 minutes) have players doing all kinds of crazy, nonsensical things. Very aggro, with not much rhyme nor reason.
However, once the field is thinned and the tourney is getting close to the money, everything and everyone is playing as tight as a drum. I've seen the bubble last 20 mins in a CC freeroll. All the short stacks desperately holding on for a min cash.

Here is such a funny situation happened yesterday. I had to put all in with a small stack. But the player on the big blind played carefully. I knew I could only get his blind. My stack needed to be doubled. It was important for me that the opponent got some chances on the flop. However, the dealer not only rewarded the opponent with a pair, but also made a monster out of my hand.

Well, it happens in poker not always the one that win is a good player. He probably was tilted too. It`s part of the game.

re: Poker & $Freeroll NLHE MTT: Funny moments in CardsChat tournaments
isnt necessary but you can do nice pots in begin of tournaments, when the blinds are small and you dont lose so much... the play we see here, i lose only 2k if i dont get the pot, i cant say this was a good play (i'm realy dont remember that play), but the QQ too dont play well too.... (i'm always try switch betwen agresive and chill game in same tournament)

You stated this "just a risk-free call" We want to think more deeply about that thought process. So if you have QQ versus AJ you have 71% equity. Add in another player with 54 because you did not 3bet preflop. Your equity with QQ drops to 58%- you increased your chances of losing the pot by 46% Full equity realization is also much harder with QQ when limped because now boards with small cards can make straights -sets and 2 pairs, all of which are much harder to read in a game where villains will stack off with top pair as well. It is a difficult concept for new players to understand but raising lowers risk. It is why solid players like "fundiver" are almost always raising when they enter pots. Hope this helps

This should be a mantra for anyone playing low/microstakes and the OP's situation is a good example of how a lot of microstakes players play. There's a chapter on this in the 'learn to play poker in 30 days' ebook under the Poker strategy tab.

re: Poker & $Freeroll NLHE MTT: Funny moments in CardsChat tournaments
Raising against aggressive players leads to an all-in with multiple players on the preflop. Scvijic was in the middle position and made the minimum raise in this hand. Now I'll give you an example. A couple of days ago, I ended up on the same table as him. Scvijic raised from UTG position with A9. I was in the blinds with AK and made a 4-bet raise. He pushed everything on the preflop and I was forced to call. I provoked him and was crushed at the beginning of the tournament. I may not be as successful as you, but I've been playing poker for a long time. My first poker room was Full Tilt. You're talking about equity pre-flop, when many players just go all in with any cards. I don't calculate equity during the hand, but I always keep an eye on the odds. If I wasn't confident in my hand here, I wouldn't have done this. But this is a difficult concept for beginners, isn't it? How many years have you been playing? Or should I call you rookie like you called me ?
