    you get allot of this on sky, but you were only marginally in front preflop & to be honest these are the kind of loons you want calling your raggy ace, you just lost a race..........GL

    Again, a suited king here isn't THAT bad a call.

    If the villain had a deeper stack, 14+k ish, It's a pretty easy call against what you should be shoving with.

    As it's pretty much for their tourny too though I would rather wait for a spot to shove myself rather than call off, probably the very next hand if unopened. 

    I suspect that you haven't been pushing as often as you should do though, so the suited King shrinks and should probably be a fold.

    IMO the shove is perfect and the call's not bad either. K high in the blinds figures to be good, if this was the WSOP i'd expect to be looked up here so wp your opponent.

    You shouldn't include the villain's name in your post.

    Its his chips he can do what he likes, your time would be better spent concentrating on improving your play.

    You didn't do anything wrong here, which is why its a pointless hand to post. But they'll be plenty of other hands that you didn't play well, which you could have posted instead, and by learning from those mistakes you might become a decent player.

    Surely that would be better use of your time than whinging about losing a hand? ;)

    Depends on what the villian puts you on, have u been busy the last few hands, is he a lose player and how deep his stack is, to me not enough info to say if a bad call are not.

    No, not awful.

    With only 10BB left your blind vs blind shoving range should be very wide, at least the top 40% of all hands, some players will be shoving almost any two. It's a high variance call but he has pretty good equity against that range. I can't see his stack size, but the more he has behind after making the call the more reasonable it becomes, particularly if this is a bounty hunter tournament because your bounty means the pot is worth more than just the chips, if so his call then moves from being marginal to correct.

    i like the shove from you but it depends on past few orbits to why he calls or not, suited king in the blinds where you need to take a race would be good enough for me. (Playing for the win and all)
    I agree with YB you cannot really get any input in improving your game from this thread so may of been better kept to yourself or general chat. Gl at tables
