sea has less than 10 Rep Points
Default That's me

Trying to learn by watching. There's so much folding that I'm not getting much out of it...

That hand, when you both "" - I had the straight... on the turn. The river was unfortunate (a card I already had) as it made the straight more obvious on the board. I figured my best chance to get that guy to call was to move all in, and hopefully it would look fishy and he'd have something he could call with. No such luck, but I got him later

This is my first 6 handed tourney. So far, I like it a lot.

I just doubled up again, though I am not proud of it. Guy to my right limped in when all folded in front of him, he always raised with any pair or AK, I had Tens and figured I was a coin flip against his hand and wanted everyone else out so I pushed in and everyone but him folded, he had AQ and I survived the coin flip. This was probably a horrible play on my part, but I can honestly say I had no idea how to play it. If my read on the guy next to me was right and I just called (or raised and he called) when the flop hit I would have had to fold to any bet since it was k-k-9.

This is something I could really use help with.

Anyone?

I disagree. Can't go into a long explanation now, but this was a great flop for your pair. I like a call preflop and then the push after the flop. I think it's a safer play. If the flop is little cards, great. If it's overs, you can get of it and pick a better spot.

Just my two cents. I'll be interested to see what others (ahem, Kurn) think.
