Having somehow survived to the last 11, I finally went out on this hand.
I confess to being a totally inexperienced tournament player, sticking to 2/4NL cash tables since joining a couple of weeks ago, and only a recent poker convert. So this was only my 2nd tournament ever, and with just 5BB I wasn't overjoyed with my Ad2d but was reckoning I had to pick a spot sometime very soon and this might be as good as any.
(problems with copy/paste formatting so trying jpgs )
Attempt at summary:
In the BB with Ad2d
@3k (13k left), all fold until SB goes all in for 16k.
I call, he has 7c7d.
Flop 3d 7h 2c
Turn 5d
River As
I'd love some feedback on whether this was a sound, stupid or just 'meh' place to pull the trigger, to help me understand tounament play a bit better - I'd likely have folded if it were cash. Mulling it over, I can convince myself of all 3! lol I don't recall having any particular read on what he might be holding or type of player - maybe inattention on my part but it all went so quickly with lots of table shuffling. Chuffed to bits with my 11th place and £37.50 in any case!
TIA
