Maybe I'll start to listen to that voice tellin me to fold?

[fade177]

I stole this from Wildbob because I didn't have the hand myself. As soon as he raised my brain goes, "He has aces." But my finger was yellin, "This is the best hand you've seen, double up baby." When the hand was over I immediately yelled at myself, I was one out of the money with shorter stacks still playing. I should have folded, taken my loss, and hoped some other people would beat each other up. I think I'm gonna finally start to rid myself of this leak. I had even just read Tournament Poker for Advanced Players, and I knew better than to push edges, especially since I still would have been in the middle of the pack with chips. It was a very poor play, but I'm glad that I played well enough to get there, and I can finally start to move to being a really good player. I realize this is not a fix to my leak, but a great catalyst to sealing it off. Good playing WildBob.

Oh and the commentary was hilarious, I wish I hadn't been so upset with myself to laugh at it.

Any comments on my play from yesterday are welcome if any one remembers anythings specific, or has specific thoughts on KK holla. Later.

its hard to laydown KINGS here. Wildbob is playing tight. he(maybe not him but another player in his spot) could have queens or AK. I would have pushed to hoping to see a lower pair. I play MTTs to win not to fold myself ITM. Will be nice to hear what pinguu, michael1123, gabe and others have to say bout this.

Had I thought about it for a while, I think I could see AA though. He was chipleader by quite a bit, and losing to me would not only make me chipleader, but also cut him in half. What hands other than KK would wildbob be willing to risk this against me. I play to win to, but I think I could have laid this down had I thought a bit more clearly... I'd like to see what some of them say too....

One hand beats you. I call anyday.
