edited July 2012 in The Poker Clinic
I was about to shove all in with this hand when my connection crashed
I'd dearly love to know what I was up against!
If I had shoved and lost you could have finished higher in the placings
If I'd won It could have been me in the running
a truly pivotal hand in the tournament! If you read this please post your side of the story

What would anyone else done in my position all thoughts and criticism welcome

    Don't limp, fine to check flop, fine to shove, especially if you'd have raised pre as the pot would be bigger.

    You could well be right, but after the check behind the flop and the trips arriving I was always going to shove.
    The wonderful thing about poker is you live with your decisions, If i'd played and lost I would have been OK with my decision. 
    But the disconnection and subsequent problems afterwards, took away all the enjoyment of playing!

    Dont even know how you have the hand history if your disconnected mate, not saying you havnt though because your obvi not folding that.

    When i have been discoed in the past i have tried to look at hand history to see what i had missed and it never saved.

    One of those omg not now moments ul m8

    Raise pre, don't open limp. Agree with AMY pretty lucky disconnection.

    Great call Amy Evil & Curt!
    I would have shoved defo and unless pairing on the river lost.
    But I wouldn't have been upset because the plan was always to shove when the 3 hit.
    I feel sorry for BILLINGTON he finished just out of the money in the end. Had he had my almost 5,000 chips at this stage of the tournament he would have been chip leader and who knows how high he could have finished?
    Respect for your comments I've railed all three of you and know you have very solid games!
