yeah, you made a good point i had to took care about more things. Actually one player on SB had around 7000 stack so she could call. but she is very tight and not a gambling type, she can be just calling with AK, BB had a big stack and she is reall bad beat master, but all in from me she might not call bcause normally I'm tight and I can fold AQof and she knows that, there were 6 more players it was satelite ladies tournament prize 5 tickets for 60 euros, rebuy is 10euro. It was first 1.30 minutes of the game and rebuys still available, We weren 16 players. I didn't plan to rebuy, so I wanted to double up. level up every 15 minutes, 10 minutes already passed so soon we will have blinds raised. First limper was short also around 8000 and she never limps good hand I played with her before, if she limps she doesn't call all in, another player had 10 000 and she also never limps a good hands, and actuslly I got called by player that I nver played before. I saw her hand only one time on BB she had Q5 of and she played it carefully. also one time she put all in when she was short (3800 (around 19bb at that moment)) It was in the begining when I raissed UTG with AQof and got called by 2 players. I had 5000 stack and decide to fold she said she had a pair but she didn't said what exactly. So I had almost no info on her. And when I said "wow you limped pocket 10's she had a tricky smile"
I'm not completely fluent in english lol, so I can't think as quick as would like to give you an actual better answer.
What I can say now with no problems and quickly is:
- Now, I understand a little about why you went all-in.
- But one new information you gave me reinforced what I said about "fold equity": the player who called your shove was exactly the player you had no good notes about. You said you are a newbie, me too, but I have 1,5 year playing this game and studying sometimes, and I would like to recommend you to truly seek more information about "fold equity", then you will put in your mind very good thoughts (like:
"I can easily win more money from making people fold before showdown than going with them until the end of everything, as they can win against me, even when they do bad moves").
- Also, as you talked like a lot of villains was short stack, I would like to add one more thing to my other comment:
if everyone is short stack, you don't need to be afraid to be short stack to...
- I don't know if this would apply to that hand's situation, but let me try to explain this:
- Imagine if everyone in the tournament has 12bb.
- There's 5 prizes and 20 players.
- If someone doubles up eliminating another player, you will be closer to the prizes and someone will have a larger stack to force other opponents to play worse hands (and this will act like snow ball growing more and more and absorbing other players one by one).
- So you don't need to play every medium strenght hands like A5s or KQ in CO, for example, if you could simply let your opponents get killed by themselves and wait for a better hand, like AQs or TT (specially if the game speed is slow and/or if there is no ante to pay).
- This, obviously, doesn't means you should stop playing every hand you get for being afraid of being eliminated; remember, aggressive players are professional in bothering his opponents. 🙃
- I played a few hundred Spin & Gold at GGPoker, and this taught me very well how to keep calm in such suffocating situations...
