Hey Amatuers and Wanna Be Professionals!!!

Want to know how to play tournament poker and MAKE MONEY?!?!

Don't check raise someone your whole god damn stack on a weak flush draw when you are deep into the tournament!!!

God damn idiot...

Another tip.

Stop calling big raises, sometimes all-ins, with KJ.

FOUR FIVE IS NOT WORTHY OF A 4 BB CALL ON THE BUBBLE IN A TOURNEY. STUPID **** A-HOLE KNOCKED ME OUT JUST OUT THE BUBBLE WITH 45!!! THIS WAS AFTER ALL INNING QJ ON MY AK ON AKx FLOP RIVER TEN. GUY SHOULD BE GONE TWICE BUT NOOOOO WINS BOTH.

Ok my anger is vented.

Or an all in with 53 of clubs against AA because, "I was bored, and they were suited..."

Wait - keep doing that. It's usually great for me...

Usually...

I would disagree with all of this. You should never say "don't do this" and "don't do that." Sometimes in a tournament it is neccessary. I'll grant you generally not, but sometimes the situation calls for it. Which means I'm not above doing any of the things you guys just stated if I feel it's correct.

Wait, so you're saying calling a 4-BB preflop raise in a tournament, nearing the bubble, with 4-5 off suit is a good play?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE COME TO MY TABLES, SIR!!!

Don't call big raises with A2o. You're probably up against a bigger A, and will only flop 2 pair a tiny fraction of the time.

stop thinking 10-2 is a good hand.

how about this one - STOP THINKING JUST CUZ U GET 4 CARDS IN OMAHA, ITS WORTH CALLING A PRE FLOP RAISE EVERY SINGLE HAND - I HAVE 4 CARDS TOO, AND THEYRE BETTER THAN YOURS.

Don't **** about the cards you're getting until the button has passed you at least once. Geez. I had some guy at my table Monday night, and he was all, "Can I get some cards to play, please?" It was the 6th hand of the night.

How bout this for their all in explaination as they show 38, 26 etc. Well they're suited arent they.

Every time I hear them say this I want to scream. And do sometimes when they suck out.

So im playing this hand on a NL table the other day and I call a min raise in the BB with 66. 3 to the flop and the flop comes AA4.

Giving the bettor a couple different hands in my mind, I check for his ace with a decent bet and he calls me. He's either wired or had an ace himself, but I give him the ace in my mind.

I turn my 6 and go all in immediately, having a damn good feeling im getting a call. He does so and turns over AQ. Rivers his Q and wins the pot.

I say, nice catch. He says, ya whatever, I knew you were gonna go all in on the turn, that's exactly what I wanted you to do.

My boat vs his trips? Yep, sounds like a good strategy.

Sounds like classic pot equity. Don't have all the details on stack size, bankroll, win/lose session etc. but your AI gave him the green light to call. He might not have called if he was down for the day or short stacked. Probably BS when he says he knew you would go AI on the turn and he sure couldn't have put you on the 66. You did everything correct and the best hand won at the end.
