Morongo Casino
I played in a good size 200 player MTT at Morongo Casino. It was a $48 + $20 rebuy event. I finished in 5th place which made me very happy to get my game going again. There was a hand that came up that I been thinking about since.
With blinds at 4000/8000.
The UTG players raises to 20k and has about 130k.
The player in the Cutoff moves all in for his last 18k.
The SB moves all in for 150k then thinking the UTG player folded he SHOWS HIS KK!
At his point everyone is shocked and dealer tells him there is still one more left to act and UTG has not folded yet, and he gives out an *AUGHHH*.
Now the UTG player looks at this and goes into the tank, then finally FOLDS face up AJs.
Cutoff player shows A3o.
What would you do? Do you make the call against KK or fold?
You can guess what the flop brought but it doesn't matter.

Easy fold by the player with AJ once his opponent shows pocket Kings. Lousy odds for all your chips. I would have folded even if he didn't show the pocket Kings since I would first put him on KK, QQ, or AK.
ReplyDeleteWhy those three hands in particular?--because I have an Ace and a Jack. A push all-in in this situation seems like a premium hand. If not those hands, a big pre-flop push is often A-K.
So when the flop comes J-J-J, I don't really mind=)
