help with a hand
« on: February 24, 2010, 09:29:03 PM »
sorry for my English but I'm learning
I still have some difficulty, but let the good that matters. This situation happened in the second half hour of a tournament freeroll no-limit texas hold'em. The first place would receive $ 49 and remaining 506 players, a total of 749. The blinds were 40-80. I was the Button, with about 2K chip, I received the Qh. All who folded, the player with the 2K chip limped from one position before me. I raise to 400 and Player B with 6K in chips Big blind go all-in. Player A has paid, I thought they should not have AA or QQ or KK or smaller or AK or AQ. I took the risk and paid the player B had A7 off player A was 66. Turned a 7 in the river and player B took it all.
So my increase was correct? What I should have done: pay the all-in, to fold or so should have paid the blind, or not at all thanks!
See you in another post

Just don´t go all in in a freeroll.
the chance that u will be ´donkeybeaten`
is very big in these tournaments!
I am working on those beasts (freerolls) for maybe
five years, you can better buy yourself a lottery card
because freerollers dont have their money on the line they
can affort to go all in with hands like 3-5 unsuited

in my opinion you did the right thing (if it wasnt freeroll) and
 you had the biggest odds pre-flop to win
