    First off i know i was wrong for limping here with QQ utg; But my thinking here was to get HU with Jim Munk. I know that he was desperate had he had shoved several times.

    As planned he pushes and i put him all-in here;But being out of position and in a solid run for the money. Did i make a mistake here(not being results minded) of not just calling here.

    The call leaves me with around 2500-2600; And then i am able to evualuate the flop and fold with 2600 and 13bb's or around an M of 7. Seems as though i fucked myself here with more to lose by shoving with QQ and facing a possible flip!

    PLEASE SCOLD ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why would anyone scold you?

    You're playing vs a player on desparation chips. Put him in.

    If you call and the flop comes down: [Qd,4d,7d] or [Qd, 5s, 4d], would you fold to Junkmunk when he pushes his last 1115 and you're getting PO of 2915:1115 or 2.61:1.

    If you're not getting your money in versus the short stack with [QQ], you're waiting on [AA]. You should fold all hands until you're ITM. But that's knida dum.... playing that way. Only 2 hands beats your [QQ]. Everything else is drawing. Sometimes drawing hands get there.

    Poker probability is not an exact science. Probability is an estimation made with incomplete information.

    You can always avoid draw-outs. You just have to quit playing poker...................
