    Default TP against a lunatic ($33)

    Looking back at this makes me sick, why I got involved with this hand I do not know. CO's stats something like 37/12/2, which is why I decided to call the reraise on the flop expecting A-rag. Can we still lay this down?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is $60 (9 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    MP2 ($2080)
    MP3 ($1920)
    CO ($2180)
    Button ($4000)
    SB ($20)
    BB ($3760)
    UTG ($2000)
    Hero ($2140)
    MP1 ($1900)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T, A.
    UTG folds, Hero raises to $180, MP1 calls $180, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls $180, Button folds, BB folds.

    Flop: ($630) 8, A, 2 (4 players)
    Hero bets $300, MP1 folds, CO raises to $660, Hero calls $360.

    Turn: ($1950) 6 (3 players)
    Hero checks, CO calls $1340 (All-In), Hero ??

    Fold preflop, fold to flop reraise, fold turn just about covers it.

    Look at it, you went broke w/ TPNK on level 2. This is not goot.

    FOLD PREFLOP! You'll only get in trouble playing these kind of hands OOP.

    Fold Turn.

    check flop. As played, either fold to the flop RR or call the turn, you can't decide he has A6 exactly and fold now.

    Well yeah I know what I should have done earlier in the hand, my point mainly was to ask what to do AFTER you've put half of your stack on the table for no reason. :P Do we go broke trusting our instincts or salvage what we can?

    I felt like I had a strong read and thought I was ahead, but in the midst of this madness decided to back down.

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T, A.
    UTG folds, Hero raises to $180, MP1 calls $180, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls $180, Button folds, BB folds.

    Flop: ($630) 8, A, 2 (4 players)
    Hero bets $300, MP1 folds, CO raises to $660, Hero calls $360.

    Turn: ($1950) 6 (3 players)
    Hero checks, CO calls $1340 (All-In), Hero folds.

    River: ($3290) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $3290
    Main Pot: $3290 ($3290), returned to CO.

    Results:
    CO has 7 7 (one pair, sevens).
    SB has K K (one pair, kings).
    Outcome: CO wins $3290.

    Crazy tourney altogether, I busted out on 5th place with the SB as the chip leader.

    Don't post results so early (if at all)!

    I agree with the others, fold preflop from UTG+1.

    As played, if you honestly believe that you were ahead on the flop then you should shove over his (slightly more than) min re-raise. This kind of small re-raise is quite often opp trying to pick off your c-bet cheaply and you'd be surprised how often they fold to a push.
