at best for him its a coinflip

i have played supertight, played about 3 hands so far in the tournament, thought i could get a little respect and steal the blinds

Folding 3 hand cannot be considered as Tight. You went AI with K6o which is a crapy hand. You tried to steal a 100 chip pot with crap.

No matter what he have, You made a bad call there.

At the end of the tournement, with 2-3 left, you can do a push like that, but not after just 3 hand.

He meant he was only in 3 hands up to that point in the tournament.

Easy for me to say, but you could have tried 3 or 4 xBB and see if they call or reraise. Then see if you can make something on the flop. If you went all in postflop after he checks (probably) he may have folded looking at the Q. He went all-in with 22 preflop so it may not have mattered.

If I have that many chips, I *might* make the call...if he loses he's still got more chips than most of the table, if he wins he's got a dominant lead. It's definitely an iffy call, but I think he figures that he has the upper hand in a coinflip more often than not (i.e. you have overcards more often than you have a bigger pair).

Actually, I take that back, *I'm* not going to make that call at all. But I can see why he would.

With 9x the BB, it is push or fold time... a raise would essentially commit you anyway. Good push, stupid call, ah well at least you were 50/50 and not in worse shape...

I know, but saying that he's super tight and expecting respect by the field with only 3 hands played !!! that's early, unless he's playing with the same guys everytime

He meant he had only actually played (called, seen flop) 3 hands in the tourney.

He had probably been dealt into around 75 ish, I dunno.

I have noticed many weak players do not notice how many hands you play, raise, etc. You had the right idea on pushing, but you just got unlucky on his 2s. Personally, I would have waiting a for possibly better cards, and the fact that he was and early limper with that stack makes it hard for him not to call. Yes he went into a coin flip, but anyone could have called you with an ace, and put you at 2-1 underdog. On another not 50$ SnGs, if your starting off with tourney play, I wouldnt recommend playing this high of buyins. Even if you BR can support those kind of buyins(1k$-1500$) you are going to find 50$ buyins is where the calibur of players greatly increases.

Just my .02$

Maxx, what are you drinking in your avatar?

I think you are missing the point of what he was saying. He had only been in the pot in 3 hands up to that point in the tourney. he may have already played 75 hands but he was only active in 3 of them. That's pretty tight.

Sorry, Dwarfy. Didn't see that you had already addressed this.

1. It was K6 SOOTED
2. He played 3 out of many hands which means he had a rock image and at a $50 buyin you'd expect people to respect that image.
3. His stack was low, it was push or fold mode.

The guy just made a bad call max. With your table image it really should have been an easy steal. He took a gamble and it payed off, it happens.

Head up and win the next one.

He has triple your stack, put you on AK, has already commited chips - takes the coinflip. Only thing he is dominated by is another pocket pair.

If you open-raise all-in, he probably folds.
