I'm just saying i wouldn't make the play you still have plenty of chips, but I suppose it's read dependent at the 5s.

AJ is not that good a hand. A massive reraise from a tight player means that your best case scenario is that you're dominated by AK, and most likely he has a high pair, in which case you're a big dog with one over.

Thanks,I appreciate the input. Very Happy

akoonastom

First post on the forum for me. I've enjoyed reading the posts here for a few months, and I am trying really hard to improve my game.

Here are selected hands from a 300FTPoint tourney tonight where I took a big hit down to 550 chips with pocket Jacks .vs a set of 9's.

This is from my low point onward - any advice or comments on my play will be truly appreciated!

Thanks.
