I would like some feedback on a particular hand that came up in a live deep stack tournament that I played recently . Did I play this wrong , Was it a bad call honest feedback would be greatly appreciated .


Blinds are 200-400 I am on the button with 19,400 chips. I have been at the same table for 2 hrs and have a very good read on the whole table.

3rd to act makes it 900 , 4th to act calls , 5th to act calls , 6th to act calls. makes the pot 4200 . I look down and am staring at 5-6 off suit . 900 to call on the button seems like I cant fold in this spot as the odds are just to juicy as I can basically deduct that the original raiser has an a-big and the callers could range from any to big suited cards to medium range pocket pairs.

In my mind I am thinking its the correct call.

To my surprise the small blind after I make the call pushes in for 10,000 straight . The Big Blind flat calls the 10,000 and leaves himself 2,400 behind.

Its folded back around to me and now I have to call 9,100 more with this horrible hand but I absolutley without a doubt know the sb has aces. Guy is a rock and I have played in many tournaments with him. The BB with the flat call must have A-k or A-Q in this spot because he did not push over all his chips so I Make that assumption as he is on some sort of drawing hand.

I calculate the 4200 now of dead money plus 20,000 from the raise and call. pot stands and 24,200 and I have to call 9,100 more and most likely if no big cards come on the flop the BB will check the hand down.

I make the call to see a flop of J-6-2 . BB Checks , I check . A Four hits the turn . Check check . A Five comes on the river BB Checks I bet out 1200 and he folds . I turn over my 2 pair and the small blind shows his aces . I take down the pot.

Remember I was leaving myself 9,000 behind if I lose this pot.


Even though I won the pot , Was this a horrible play on my part? The guy to my right folded j-j and basically called me a complete retard and I disagree regardless of the outcome.

Let me know what you think of this hand


Thanks

Fold to the original raise, 65 is terrible. Definitely fold to the reraise, you are putting in almost half of your very healthy stack with 65? All around i think i agree with the assessment of the guy at your table.

Thanks: I am not trying to defend my play as I won the hand . So fold even at 4-1 is the right thing there before the sb pushes?

Its not a terrible call, but i'd probably fold that just because its very rare that you will flop a monster, and if you flop a draw you could and up putting in a lot of chips trying to get there. Alot of guys call in that spot and it isn't terrible, I just personally perfer laying it down.

I mostly agree with SetofKs.

I think the pre-flop call for 900 was fine, given the number of people in the hand.

Once it was re-popped to 10k, you had to get out. It's more than half of your stack. It's just not worth throwing your healthy stack away with speculative hands like 56, especially if you know you are against high pairs instead of two AK hands.
