So this was bonkers. I was playing live tonight, a £50 buy in tourney at a local club. 90 plapyer start plus more on a waiting list. and there were 2 mainiacs at table. 1 talked a good game but was just chucking money around for no good reason. Another was just hitting everything but couldn't fold either, the rest of the table were generally solid.

I have the QQ in around the HJ, we are 10 to a table. Blinds are 300/600 or 400/800. The action starts with player 3 above, he is short and shoves for 7k, Player 4 calls, the nutter, player 5 shoves all in, guy nest to him all shoves, he is a solid player.

Then its me. So I'm thinking there's a decent chance only the solid guy has a genuinly good hand, but I also know the player 2 will likely come along with any half a hand.
This is for way more than I've usually played for, but is low for playing live, so I'm playing. I have to call, but I don't love it. As expected the guy next to me calls after 4 all ins with KJo. Player 4 with TT then calls too.
All of us were of faily similar stack size barring the short guy with 76s, and the crazy guy with KJo.

I can't remember all suits correctly, so its all a bit rough. But I wanted to see what sort of equity I had in this hand. It wasn't bad at 27%

Interesting if I had AA, then my equity goes up to 41%. Which is actually more gthan I thought.

The flop had K on it, the turn was a J, so the crazy guy won a massive pot. He then proceded to give it away, and win it back over the next hour or so. But I didn't see him when we were down to 4 tables later in the game.

Hello.
Thank you for interesting post. I think even if player has AA his chances are not so big if there are so much player in the game.
In this case every card on the board can change a lot.

I think that you could find a fold here, especially with Queens. If it was a bounty or a rebuy one could call from time to time to build a stack and play confortably.

Interesting hand!

That reminds me of a hand I played yesterday in a micro tourney:
I have KK in UTG and raise to 2.2 BBs to induce some action. But I got what I asked for. I got 5/7 callers. 🤣 (8-handed table).

And I'm like "Well f*ck".

Flop comes 79A rainbow, great! 🤣

With 5 other players, it's very probable at least anyone's has a trash ace, so I just check-fold and two players go to turn.

And on the river another King, LOL. But of course so unlikely that it was a good fold.

Winner had AQo. Some people really only 3-bet the Aces or Kings in the micros. 😅

I know what you are saying and I did consider it. In a cardschat freeroll I’m folding even. As I’m expecting to see KK or AA. On this table I wasn’t.

The call was due to the range of each player. Plus. Getting eventually 6/1 with 27% equity was just too good.

Having just started playing live more seriously, it’s amazing to me how crazy sone o FB T he players can be with a £50 buy in!

If I win, I go really deep, the tourney is also structured with a really too heavy payout. Top 9 with a likely bubble pay out only. This is with 90 starting field plus players on the waiting list and re buys. So around 150 entries. It’s a bit too steep in my opinion. I’d prefer to see Top 14!

Man that takes me back..I miss my low buyin live sessions but any cardroom closed down here 😓

Only way to play is SOME days in the week for min buy in of 300€ 🙄 very few people at casinos austria who play poker which I guess would be an advantage if I became a regular .
Stupid state casinos ..
The cardrooms were PACKED . And open 24h as it should be..
