    You could have raised more initially preflop and again when it came back round to you you could have pumped it right up. As it was you gave the last person to act 4:1 odds preflop so J9 is a go go go  situation. 


    Pump it pre and dont be afraid to have people fold to you when you have big hands, they might also get into the habit of folding when you have nothing :-)

    unfortunate,but you got to remember that AA is only 1 pair..and as there were 2 callers,theres quite a possibility that they hit the flop to some degree..so phaps a smaller bet to see where you are post-flop..its always hard to put AA down,but they are very beatable,especially early on in a tourney..

    I find it hard to go deep in tounrys, i dont have a big bank roll like most, so i played a freeroll other day to get entry into the 6k tounry, out of 900 people in the freeroll i came 3rd but in the tourny i went out fast. I just dont seem to go deep :( i am probably playing wrong

    i have in the past gone out in much the same sort of way,get a good hand,bet big,get called,then go all-in when i think i must STILL be winning,i now realise that it doesnt matter how gr8 my holdings are,im still gonna get beat,sometimes....just not as often...and not for all my stack..

    I would raise to 60 or 80 when it is first on me, then supposing i'd min raised got min 3 bet and a flat cawl i'd be making it about 400.


    Everyone is always complaining people call with too much, make use of that pump it up when you have aces!

    Tournaments are very high variance keep posting hands/discussing your game and the reasons why you do stuff and you'll get better. :-)

    its not often that you will hit,so you either,bet anyway or reraise their bet..nothing wrong with folding,not evry1s bluffing when they bet...

    Maybe next time you struggle with a hand, post the situation (how deep, what the tables likes, any recent hands that have been shown down, anyone tilting etc?), post positions, stack sizes, but dont post what hand you have. Then just ask people what hands they would require in this situation to do whatever action. Thinking about situations in terms of generalisations will really help. Oftentimes we can get blinkered by the absolute preflop strength of our hand (ie aces and dont want to fold) or the hand strength we make on the flop and cant adapt our play on later streets.

    So you say you have a big hand preflop. you raise it and they call and you dont hit. what do you do then?

    continuation bet..or check raise...could even check call and see what happens on turn..(depending on the flop) its all about what you know of the other players etc..also, its easy to win when you get the monster hands,the hard bit is when you dont hit..

    And i think it is when i dont hit and i make a bet is when im making the wrong move, i dunno where im going wrong but im sure you guys will tell me when you play me... i hope

    Reconsider what is abig hand early on in a tournament relative to later on in tournaments.

    also earlier you said ud come 3rd of 900,you must be doing something right..these big tourneys are easy to lose at..if you raise with say AQ and ur called youv got to think about what theyr calling with,then see the flop,take it from there...somedays ur lukky ,other days they r lukky...

    Well when the blinds are 15/30 and you raise to 90 and someone calls. You have 1970 more chips to get into a pot of 180. One pair aces wont be winning that much when they want to get all the money in.


    Hence just smash the raise up pre and build a awesome-tastic big pot or take it down or get it in pre.

    Later when the blinds are 150/300 and you have 2100. Any pair is monster-tastically huge and you should raise your right arm, finger pointing in the air as you click all in!!!!
