I was playing a live tourney last night when the following hand came up.

We started with 4000 in chips each. The blinds were currently 100/200.

I was in middle position, with about 6000 in chips, and was dealt T8 of hearts. I call, something I usually don't do in middle position with suited semi-connectors, but nobody was raising at the table.

4 people see the flop, which comes AA5, 2 hearts. Check, check, check, check. Turn is a 6 of hearts. I bet the pot ($900) to protect my hand, after all, I only have a T high flush. The guy to my left reraises all-in for about $3000, and the guy to his left re-reraises all-in for about $5000.

What do you do if you were me? (Scroll down)

I folded. It's early in the tourney, and there are many hands that beat me.

The guy to my left flips up 62o, a complete bluff!, the guy to his left flips up A2, and wins the hand with trip aces.

Sometimes you gotta be able to fold the best hand. Its a hard thing to do but if you dont it will be a painful lesson. You all limped in so there was no real indication of what ppl were holding and yes you caught the flush (not a great one) but the board was paired making a possible boat. Now after betting you are faced with not 1 but 2 all in reraises! Without knowing the players involved in the hand and what they are cabable of just go with the rule of thought. BEWARE any unraised pots.

I would have called 1 all-in, but not 2.

The blinds were such, that you needed to gamble to stay ahead.

I thought long and hard. I thought about Jesus' call at the 2004 WSOP. He only had a T-high flush, but he was only facing 1 opponent, and it was much later in the tourney, so he was needing to double up.

I'd have folded too. And then been very pissed.

you can make the right move and still think you're "wrong" when its done, otherwise it wouldn't be poker

better to chastise yourself for not calling your would-be wins than cursing yourself for the call you made that broke you

good fold
