£1 Deepy, major loss hand & exit hand on bubble
Busted smack bang on the bubble of this tourney, good sign that my positioning is improving in these.......although im not sure I should have really gotten this far. Had a good run of cards tbf and a little bit of luck......although there were some coolers such as set over set that I lost, and a flush over straight.
Anyway one turning point in the tourney was the below hand where i was dealt 77 UTG, I raised for 3x with 2 callers CO and SB. Flop comes 10,8,9. Small bet from SB led me to believe they were weak and I raised to the tune of half the pot trying to get either a fold (too small??) or a call to peal off another card with my outs probably stacking the turn.
As it turned out I got put all in after my raise........was the call as bad as I think it was even though I had Open ended straightdraw and obviously any 7. I did know I would be behind with the call, so my sense tells me it was awful......confirmation please and anyway I should have played this hand differently?
The second hand is my exit hand smack bang on the bubble. There was another shorty on the other table with around the same stack. Everyone at my table was folding pretty much everything except the best of cards, although the raise looney gives me in the SB was the 3rd orbit in a row he had raised me from the SB. Am I correct to shove here......not bothered about cashing I wanted 1st place.

Hand 2- In this scenario, you'll have to have the best hand at showdown to win so calling here isn't that bad but I'd prefer to be the one shoving with this hand so I'd fold. You'll have 9bb's left in the small blind which is plenty to shove with,especially if it's folded to you in the small blind.
My thoughts were along the lines that the oppo has a tiny peice of the flop or missed completely with such a small bet, I can raise to get them to fold, or see another card with my OESD.........this is obviously bad thinking- why?
u end up putting ur tourny on the line chasing cards. id of folded after that flop and move on.
2nd hand is just a classic race which u lose. ul
Agree with folding, especially on a draw. Dohhhhhs idea of flatting with massive odds to hit your draw is not something I'd have considered but I can see it's merits.
dont re-rasie the flop - you are probably behind and he's made a mistake by letting you draw cheaply - so take the draw and see what comes or fold. The only reason you would raise is hoping he folds, not call - bear in mind, if you hit your set, any hand with a J beats you
hand 2
only reason not to call is if he has barely raised from the SB. Even then, he is very likely raising with anything expecting you to fold because of the bubble
1. This flop smacks most players calling range
2. A lot of pairs have a straight draw as well,which reduces our outs
3. Its a £1 buy in they prob wont fold a pair
btw never raise fold, your hand has way too much equity. To raise though you need players to be able to fold pairs on this board
