    Default Anything wrong here

    17 people left in tourney, top 5 win through to qualifier, I was about 4th in stacks overall, villan had been up and down from lead to low stacks all game so far and I put him on probaly AK or KQ with the min-raise (think this was my first warning and one thing that cost me this hand).

    I have a feeling I should have raised more pre-flop but don't think it would have saved much. The overbet on the turn was me being more worried about a straight or flush draw than the set, but again I don't think I could have gotten away from this hand after the flop no matter what.

    Now apart from the way I played the hand, is there any suggestions on what I can do about hating the feeling of limping into final tables? I just think it's cheap to sit out and not play hands or compete in the game when you look set for final table...I'd rather be in there and actually trying to win, accumulate chips, etc than just coasting and letting people knock themselves out and I know it's costing me in results and finishes lately (ie last knight on party wsop qualifier I got knocked out in 55th/3400 with entry to satelitte given to top 50 because I took AK in on a K high flop against a smooth called AA) but I just can't shake the feeling that to do otherwise isn't in the spirit of things.

    Id put in a 3x reraise preflop
  3. #3
    reraising is definetly an option because of the deep stacks. dont even think about folding after the flop. set over sets are so rare that you just have to pay them off every time. they arent completetly impossible to get away from, but you need a dead on read
