Played my first £2.2 Deep Stack Tourny and lasted less than a roulette game!
Did I over play this hand or was it just poker?
I put him on Big pockets or suited Ace King.

2. same as above for the flop.
3. he wouldn't suddenly jam blank turn if he was slow playing AA, and almost certaintly wouldn't jam as a bluff on the turn with AK.
4. I go broke with a set with 163BBs tbh... so i'd say unlucky.
just ul, no way I'm folding a set there
At the £2.20 level u will find that peeps cant fold so could well have 99 or similar. Most times in situations like this you will get paid - seen lots of peeps ship it all in here with A8!
Dont let it dishearten you - the £2.20 deepies are imo the best games of what resembles poker at the low stakes.
Ur gonna get the odd chancer having a bit of fun as its only a couple of quid mentalities, but generally most people seem to take these fairly seriously for a fun evening of poker - & thats what its all about innit?
Will just keep playing and learning.
It def. helps to look back over hands and work out what happened (when I started playing last year I would have gone straight to a cash table and shipped my br in 20 mins after a beat like that so guess I must be playing a bit better now!)
You can say that again, oh wait u have
as for hand at that level this would be fine just unlucky, if a bit higher buy in possible to get of with reads but we have a set takes alot to fold it
A little bit unlucky once you were in the pot. However.
If you want to do well in future deepies, you need to be sitting really tight for the first few levels and fold everything from pocket 8s down. Remember, you are in a deepstack not a race, there will be plenty of time to accumulate chips later on in the levels.
In this particular hand villains 5 x BB raise pre-flop this early in the tourny is screaming out pocket pair and to be honest as there is only one pocket pair lower than yours in the deck (22) you are always likely to be behind in this hand pre-flop.
Its not often you are going to hit the set on the flop, so my advice is steer clear of small pairs early on in these tourneys.
Good Luck....Hope to see you at the tables.
Pokertrev.
I agree with Dohhhhhh, call is perfectly fine pre and recommended with small pairs imo.
This hand is a standard stack off, cant be folding a set on that board imo
5 x BB raise shouts out pocket pair and its unlikely my pocket 3s are gonna be ahead or hold up. however, having called and seen the flop, there was no getting away from it on this occasion.
Give me a cheap check or call any day of the week, but i'm not calling a 5 x BB raise with pocket 3s this early in a deepy thats all i'm saying.
Are you both sure you would call a 5 x BB with pocket 3s this early in a deepy knowing your likely to be going into the flop behind?
This is a rare example of set over set, but usually when u hit any set, you get paid big vs passive stations who who cant fold overpairs. usually results in a nice DU or a big pot.
if you miss your set, you fold and its only 100 chips out of 5000. so thats still 4900 left!
but if you win you have invested 100 to win a potential 3000+. You hit your set 1 time in 7.5... im rubbish at maths, but the implied odds are clearly there innit.
