ACR freerolls are kind of a free for all. So I play tight.. but aggressive(thanks for the advice in other spots I have written) Half the time I am hitting replay and writing notes on people.. lol It does get kind of crazy.. I do throw bluffs and semi bluffs in there since I'm winning enough when it comes to showdown.(and they see my cards) I tend to shy away from all ins that put me all in with nothing left to work with if I catch a bad beat.. (I don't go all in unless I've got a good hand.
Situation: I'm in about 12th place with 40+ people left.. my butt is tightening up so much I think I gonna get a cramp in my left cheek.. 4 people limp in.. I'm on the button with pocket 5s.. since it's relatively cheap to set mine I put my 1000 in too.. Big Blind goes all in.. Now I know pretty much by the way he's been playing(seems to be a decent player) he has something.. not blow you away huge but something.. I'm thinking he's just collecting some easy money from limpers that don't have the cards to call... And they all fold..
So there I sit.. me with pocket 5s on the button and the dude using his pretty decent bankroll(I do have him by 12K) to chase everyone.. I went all in. He had A 10 offsuit... and hits the 10 on the river. Not a bad beat.. pretty much a tossup.(isn't it math peeps?)
I'm way down.. (3 hands later I go all in on J K suited and bust out).. but not mad. It would have put me into 2nd place in chips.. I'm just soliciting opinions.. right move? wrong move? A lot of times at this stage of the game I'm starting to bleed.. A lot of stacks at this stage of the game do go all in.. (smaller ones anyway)
thoughts? (takes a sip of sweet tea as he waits) edit:When I say I went all in.. I actually called his all in.
