You (not me, God forbid) are on the button. Three people have limped behind and you have AK. Why on Earth do you call?
Apparently some people just don’t like to win big pots
Because I am a FISH! ; )
Well, they ended up winning a big pot bc I shoved with about 13bb from the big blind with AQ. If one of the people in an earlier position had called, I could see them having AK and hoping someone raises, just not the button with 4.5 bb already in their pocket.
On the bright side, I just won the PKO Top Gun thanks in part to having AQ a bunch of times. Between the two tournaments, I was dealt the lady with the flintlock pistol (only one bullet) 8x, all unsuited oddly enough. I folded one on the flop to a board where the only caller had every reason to have the king, and was sucked out by the aforementioned AK. The other six all raked in chips. So, I’m feeling better about it now.
Yea, I opened from the blinds on the very first orbit of a tournament today and got jammed by a limper. I think I had JT so I folded but I took notes. Then 5 mins later I opened AT from I think the CO and he jammed from the BB. I called and he had JJ. I hit an A I think on the turn and he made a meh face at me.
Now JJ from the BB isn’t so bad, except that that’s a huge overjam when we’re still super deep on the 2nd orbit, but I said, “You limp-jammed me already, your jam range is wide so don’t complain.”
He got super nitty after that. ; )
But then much later he had folded pre and I was heads-up with someone else on a very wet board full of broadways. This guy starts piping up, “All-in,” and then again “ALL-IN.” I ended up having to check-fold the river because I had 2 pair on a broadway straight board. Villain shoved and took it.
I was pretty pissed off and told that guy, “hey, you folded out, so shut up if you;re not in the hand.”
It was a big pot and I lost over a 3rd of my stack.
When your looking for something, why is it always the last place you looked?
