1st hand and out…full house vs. runner runner four of a kind!!! - 1 views
In a frantic game of online tournament poker, i ran into some trouble early on against a marginal weak hand. This is how it panned out!
9 Handed Table – Deep Stack 40 000
Pre-Flop
SB- 100 folds
BG- 200 folds
3rd- calls 200
4th- Hero raises to 1600 with pocket kings
5th- folds
6th- folds
7th- calls
8th-folds
9th- calls
……………………………
The Flop
Kh, 9h, 2s
Hero- Continuation bet of 1600 and now sitting with ”A set of Kings”
2nd player- calls 1600
3rd player- calls 1600
……………………………
The Turn
9 c
Hero- Continuation bet of 3600 and now sitting with ”A Full House, Kings and 9′s”
*at this point i know that getting the right betting amount is vital. The thought crosses my mind and wonders if these guys would limp in a hefty pre-flop raise with A 9 or J9…but i give them more credit.
2nd player- Moves all in
3rd player- folds
Hero- Calls but after some time, stressing and beginning to think that he might have pockets 9′s but call anyway.
* He turns over A 9 unsuited and i show my full house.
……………………………
At this stage i i’m leading by 99% and all that he can hope for is a 9 for a 4 of a kind.
He hits his 9 and i am out!
What a hand, i have been analyzing my betting structure all round for a few days now and i have realized that it was perfect- You cant account for luck, he got lucky!
