    Just read the ongoing chat that begun BEFORE the hand was dealt, and then tell me what range i can put opponent on. 450 get paid and we are about 5-8 players away from bubble.

    not too worried about sneaking in the money, was just playing the 50cent for giggles while i played sit and gos, so getting 80 cents was not an issue for me nor do i think it was for him based on how he was playing. No big reads on him, seemed like a solid decent player, but he had only been on table for two rounds at this point.

    First of all, how can there be a puke spot in a $.50 mtt?

    Second, how can you ever think QQ is not ahead of the range of a random in a .50 tourney?

    I guess, umm lol, if the .80 is imortant to you then fold, otherwise get it in there as quickly as you can.

    I never want to belittle players who play lower limits than I do, especially since I am not a high stakes player. But this made me lol and it's absolutely true.

    This is NOT a puke spot. Easiest call ever. You are crushing his range.

    its called clever advertising, got you jocking my thread didn't it? as stated at the end of my post i stated i was multitabling sngs and just entered to get my MTT jones on and could give a &^^& about the making the money but why?
    R U hot cause you play ONLY sunday million? first tourney i ever played buy-in squashed the "sunday million" buy in i chuckle at "internet" players. it doesn't take balls to click a mouse but to look across a table and bluff a guy out of his paycheck, whole different ballgame. You guys here on this forum, for the most part, are some of the most thinking players around so i wanted to see how people thoughts may differ from mine. This was a pretty easy fold for me but only because of the table talk that you rarely get online but you always get live. I am the only person in my peer group that plays poker so i come online to talk hands out. Thanks for welcoming me with open arms, you are the best.... excuse me i have more crying to do over in the corner

    So anyway you guys just call cause like whatever its a small change tourney or do you try to win every tourney you bother to participate in? His table talk first told me he had pure garbage and was open folding but his subsequent jam told me AA.

    btw

    paidchex: folds
    Uncalled bet (12660) returned to nateburrows
    nateburrows collected 2475 from pot
    paidchex said, "better show"
    nateburrows: shows [Kh Kc] (a pair of Kings)

    i flamed out in 149th place but was happy with several plays i made during the tourney. my opponent was supremely confident in his hand and was obv giving me a chance to fold. Without the table talk I don't think I can foldFYI the dude ended up being pretty cool as we shot the ish for the rest of the tourney, i watched from the rail as he crushed for a 5th place finish. the guy who finished in 4th was who knocked me out of the tourney. i got the HH of the entire tournament emailed to me, got like 3 other situations considering posting. this is first time stuff for me and obv i'm sensitive so be gentle with the flaming
