  1. OKay I know I can count on you guys for advice, and suggestions.. Im playing the $30 Deep stack and were only like an hour and a half into the tourney i have 4700, just under starting stack but plenty of chips with the blinds only 25 50.. My read on initial raiser was a very Lag'y, get in as many pots as possible, always raised when he entered a pot.. Other guy who wound up beind in the hand just got moved and didnt have a clue.. I called to see a flop here know there wouldbe multi way action, and trying to hit a big hand. Here is the hand history up to the part where its my turn.. Im so confused and looking how the action played out, I truly belive i made the right move, However it didnt work out for me.. PLease post opinions, and what you guys would have done.. Thank you very much.

    (Ill post the rest of the HH after i get some responses)

    FatsoFat6969: raises 1435 to 5690 and is all-in(before it could even blink his turn)

    My delemia is if i call, i could be dead, Or up against AhX and a set.. However I have just less then half my stack in and I hit my 3rd nut flush..I used my whole time bank before deciding..
    Btw if i fold i still have 2500 on 25/50 blinds.. Please tell me what u guys think.
     
  2. Yeah with all the action you have to fold third nuts here. Someone might be making the play with top set and someone with a higher flush, but I think you're beat here.
  3. I call here for one reason. If i'm chasing and put in that many chips, why would i fold when i hit what i wanted?
  4. I'm pretty sure your first paragraph gives away that you would've won the hand (I truely think I made the right play)...so its hard not to be biased here...

    some will say if you're up against a better flush than it just wasnt your tourney
    some will say to make the laydown...

    were you up against 333 and a wheel?
  5. Alright its 1-1 so far.. lol. I really would like to see alot of responses.. Im still rethinking it in my head... But I still think my decision was right.

  6. I like your answer, but not your logic steve...yes, he wanted to hit his flush..but when he did there is nothing wrong with doing a little re-evaluating of the situation
  7. I can understand re-evaluating the situation. There is nothing wrong with that. I'm looking at it as saying, "Why am i going to chase for the third nuts if i think other people who called are chasing with the 1st and 2nd nuts." So if i'm calling on flop and i hit my Q high flush (3rd nuts), there is no way i'm going to lay it down. If someone has A high or K high flush, i chalk it up to being a cooler, or to the fact that i'm chasing with cards that i really shouldnt be chasing with in the first place. That's all im trying to say, not trying to put down his play or anything. Hope its clear!-

  8. No i was not,Ill post it in about 5 min.. But no wheel

  9. "I just call here to see the river because I dont see a need to get it in if the river 4-flushes"

    So push all in and make them pay to see the four flush,
  10. Yeah looking back I guess that could of been the one thing that might have been different.. Here is what happened, And again when i look at the hand played out after the heart hit and how fast there actions were.. I felt comfortable leaving myself with 2500 on 25/50 blinds.. I believe the amount of times Im behind, or lose on river isnt worth it. It was bad to call preflop.. But like newman said I probally should have pushed on turn if anything.. O well.. ALso id like to add after i folded and left me 2400, that as of this post im up to 17,000, about to be on 3rd break.. Hope it works out for me..

  14. even tho that happened, i still call, because you chased your hand, you hit, and when that happens i chase it to death (unless its like a 4 high flush, or board 2 pairs etc.
  15. Dont play raised pots with Q 8 out of position?
  16. Ya i realize my mistake was not shoving when he bet turn.. If i shove, I dont have to have 2nd thoughts.. Thats all i was looking for was some help.. Glad i was able to bounce back from the 2400 and now itm with little over 55k.. Once again hopefully i can ride the mistake that worked out getting me chips to the end.. Ty for all the responses.
