As it turned out all my decisions were for the best because i went on to win it ( brag lol ) but just wondering what other people would have done in these situations ?

So call or fold ?

    Not sure about the 92 hand. The turn was about as ugly as it gets; it's difficult to think what he would call your flop raise with that the turn didn't help. On the flop you had a decent hand, by the turn all you had was a bluff. I find it's often best to bet scary boads, but not sure I'd have done it here without knowing the villain pretty well.

    well played thanks for showing last hand!! :)
    Think it was all good and 9 2 i take it was on reads cz he was quite loose and spewing at the time so well played!!

    1: Played well - not worth shoving considering posistion and tournament life
    2: Had to bet if they catch up they are winning so just finish hand or grap a loose call for the spade
    3: :(
    4: Love it
    5: Def never shove so bad ;)

    only read the first hand so far, and gasped in amazement!

    Surely that QQ is the easiest call ever!! Im super nitty sometimes in the end game when it come to "calling off", but i snap call!

    Whats going on in hand 1?

    I really don't understand the fold, or the assumption that you are racing.

    You put him on 1 hand, AK?

    He never has AA or KK, AK is possible, but so are hands you crush.

    Hi guys.

    The main reason for folding hand 1 was the utg limp aswell as his push. Earlier in the game same player limp called a push with a monster and thinking the all in player here knew that aswell i put him on a very big hand not to mention the number of times i see players limping utg with kk, aa so with buttons invested i thought better to wait just incase.

    Seems strange to look at folding QQ and pushing 88 final hand but they just felt right at the time :)

    Also wp batkin88, had chat off at table so didnt get chance to say it.

    I should also add that in the hand where i have QQ it just didnt feel right at the time to call ontop of my reasons that i gave above.

    You know yourselves if you have been playing poker for a long time you get the gut feelings at times and they almost always are right and in this case, above all else my gut feeling was saying fold.

    99 times out of 100 i prob snap call in same situation but like i said it all worked out for the best anyways in the end.

    Cheers. Jenny.
