There are times when I peg someone and I have a hard time changing my mind. It is a weakness that I have. It is probably why I hate loose aggressive players. I fail to give them respect, and when they hit hard, they get the best of me.<br /><br />I was lucky that I was right on the money with his hole cards. I was way luckier that the river gave me a boat.NoLimitDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519520473050502817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469485264948625106.post-89512579849669833002010-06-06T11:15:34.222-07:002010-06-06T11:15:34.222-07:00Well that's why Jacks are widowmakers so often...Well that's why Jacks are widowmakers so often. QQ and you re-raise pre-flop. <br /><br />I'd have been happier to get my chips in pre-flop against this guy than I would to call his all-in on the flop -- although maniacs get dealt aces too, there aren't that many hands that beat Jacks pre-flop that he could be holding, compared to the number of hands he might test a late-middle position raise with. <br /><br />Once he pushed the flop, I would have put him on four to a flush *or better*. You have lot of other ways to get beat there -- trips, 2 pair, straight draw, not to mention overs -- with 2 cards to go. Many of your outs also improve those holdings. <br /><br />On the other hand, after you called his pre-flop raise, he had to put you on straightforward strong cards -- a high pair, AK, suited AQ, something like that. He could have been betting a board that looked scary and pretty obviously didn't help you unless you happened to be holding diamonds....<br /><br />Given how close your stacks were, though, I'm pretty sure I would have given him credit for more than a cold bluff and would not have called that push.<br /><br />But I also think you have to get lucky once or twice to win a tourney like this. Now you can afford to shift gears a bit -- good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496270717375066325noreply@blogger.com
