Give me your hand/situation and I can defend any move on your part. Some may be weaker than others but they are all defensible late play. <br /><br />It is better than K6 and the other hand is better than 77. If we can learn anything from Lamb's play is that there is limited benefit to retrospection. <br /><br />I remember playing a weak player on my left and a decent one on my right. Lefty raised small early; Righty pushed; I went over the top to isolate and the weak player had AA to both of our KK. That's a hand I still remember but with a laugh. That's really the way to approach premium hand disappointment. A weak, timid calling station busted what was, for that table at least, the two better players.<br /><br />Use the mantra that the Mahatma taught us to chant on such hands: Oooooommmm Hummmm Shit Happens.KenPhttp://www.pokerperambulation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-55004924877921273952011-11-13T07:29:37.948-06:002011-11-13T07:29:37.948-06:00Depends whether you're playing for first or no...Depends whether you're playing for first or not, I guess. I would've reraised and called his shove.<br /><br />Unless you read him as very tight. But from button, I'd naturally give him a much wider range of hands, and he should be giving you a wide range for your reraise.<br /><br />In your spot, I couldn't get away from being all in preflop, nor would I want to.Yakshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270704458597055049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-76650881221433708602011-11-12T20:13:20.363-06:002011-11-12T20:13:20.363-06:00Tough situation.

You'd still have 35-37K left. But if you see the King on the flop you have to pull the string anyway. Looks like this hand was destined to lose no matter what.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-78428034205526876052011-11-12T13:14:08.524-06:002011-11-12T13:14:08.524-06:00Just one hombre's opinion:

I'd have maybe called a bigger raise, but that was what, 2 1/4 BB's? Likely I'd've re-raised to maybe 8K or so, and MAYBE could have folded to the inevitable re-raised, but maybe not.<br /><br />However, since the K came up, you were likely destined to be felted no matter what you did.<br /><br />My verdict: cooler. Nothing you coulda done.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.com
