Bad Beat Bad Play?????

[Reesy]

Down To Last 3 of 1400 man tourney, chip leader being very aggressive, this beat cost me at least 2nd possibly 1st as i would have been dominant chip leader!! Should i have just pushed all in pre, or is it a bad decision by him to call me reraise preflop with his hand??????

just unlucky man. I definitly wouldnt ever open limp this.

Unlucky.

3 handed, chip leader isn't laying 22+ down PF very often.

He definitely would've just called a normal PFR, and then it would've been VERY difficult to get away on that flop...

The limp? Meh. Since the chip leader is aggressive mostly, this isn't a bad play for trying to get as many chips in PF. A push after his raise will likely NOT fold him though, and quite honestly you DON'T want him to fold!

It's hard to not get caught up on the results of this hand, especially after surviving 1400 players down to the last 3. There will be other tourneys though. Enjoy your payday, and stop thinking about "What could've been". Larger tournaments have been lost from easier decisions...
