Novice
I done the 20 rebuy tonight, played well for first hr and a half playing solid handseg- 88 twice,33 twice, KQ twice and A 10 os.
I built my stack to around $12,500 before getting moved and played 2 hands out of the first 3 I played when I got moved being A3suited, A8 suited (both in late). When this hand comes along-
I pick up Ah Qh in 2nd position, I riase to $1800 (antes $300/$600). They all pass around to the SB who re raises the pot...$4200 back on me. I notice his hands were shaking when he grabbed his chips, first indication of his hand....hmm what does nervous hands mean, Hes strong isn't he Ciso. Ok , now how much is this guy playing, wow another $12000 ish after his raise , he must have been in there playing a lot of pots , hes old but he obviously isn't the tight passive guy you may assume an elderly man to be. Well, im pretty young he may think he can push me out of this pot, also he has seen me play 2/3 of my hands so far.
What hands may he have then, well I think he probably does have the courage to come over the top with 10s or better, I dont think hes so strong he has AA , possible QQ-JJ or something weaker like 99,TT,AJs. My gut initially told me I am behind.
" I'm all in" , I state $7000 more. He calls and turns up AKos. First card off Q, 2nd K.
What a moronic move, I am very comfortable in chips on this table why tangle with a guy who has alot aswell? If I lose I am out, also do I like playing big pots like this in tourneys ? Hell no! Am i committed? Hmmmm NO, I have put in only $1800. I still have $11,300 or so. Basically that is the stupidest way I have gone out of a tournament in my memory, I would love a stack of that size usually at that stage as I often get close to short stacked 3hrs or so in. Even if he is coming over the top of me, if he has 22 I shouldn't be playing that pot. This pot would only be worthwhile if I had him dominated, and that is unlikely here isnt it. A raise from early, a re raise and I am over the top with AQsuited lol. Nicest hand i seen up till then , but that dont mean shit. I have passed JJ,AK etc without even re raising a guy to make sure when I have conviction.
I am really disappointed with that last hand and really am going to try to rectify it but doing well in whichever is my next live tourney, no aspirations of final table this time. I got to win to make up for this error, if I didnt do taht move I think I would have done well tonight, granted it was not that late in the tourney ( 4 tables of 9 ) left I think. But taht doesnt cut it, anyway had to vent some anger there. Usually when I bust out of a mtt I am content with my play but not here, eh eh eh. Pressure is on again , hope I can do it again lol.
