That flop really sucks, but I'm not sure if you can fold. Maybe raise more preflop since you are out of position? Tough one.

what does he think you have? i doubt he's put you on AA, and i think he's repping AQ.

i think he has either one or two queens, possibly with a king. the 4th ace is very unlikely but that means he probably has it!!!

there are a lot of hands that beat you here, you know.

dunno... it's one of those where you have to bet the shit out of it to find out if you're good, but if he DOES have a killer hand then you're toasted.

where are you in the tourney?
what's your standard compared to the others - are you bossing or getting bossed?
do you feel you have a better chance to win if you fold and wait for the mythical "better spot", or would you prefer to double or bust here?

oh and it's not super important at all but this is a tourney hand in the cash game forum. you might get better comments in the forum where people play MTTs

I reraise x10 BB, why wouldn't he put me on AA? I would.

Anyways to answer your questions. At this point there are about 480 people left in the tourney (450 on up are in-the-money). I didn't really care if I doubled up or busted out (it was a $1 tourney and getting late).


Villian:

I regreted going all in. I think I was looking at my pocket AA and not the board. Bad call?

Losung,

There is a forum dedicated exclusively to mtt play here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=9

As far as the hand goes, that flop just sucks. I think I jam that flop harder leaving yourself no way to get away from the hand. I think it's played fine though.
