I know the result would show I was wrong but what would you all do in your first Times comp on the 3rd hand. Would you have called 2 all ins.

    your going to get stick for this :p (Not from me tho :P)

    You simply cant 5x fold with that stack.

    Ship pre or flat pre.  Ship to isolate flip or pick up the chips in there (incresing stack without running board by nearly 20%).  Flat to c/f post on bad boards, but with added equity of it being multiway when connecting.  Not deep enough to set mine, but perhaps can limp along if not opting to shove.

    But in the nicest possible way 5xing limpers from a stack of <19bigs to fold to a raise is never going to be profitable poker.

    I must confess I was hoping that I would get a fold all round but this format takes getting used to and your comment is very sound

    thx

    Yeah as above, you can't make it 250 then fold. Personally I'd just jam with your stack size after 2 limpers.

    Yep lovely shove spot, if you raise you have to snap call the shove.

    just going by your description you said this was 3rd hand. was it one of those 1 min roullette tourneys? im guessing this by blinds n stacks, if it was its an easy shove

    no one should give stick. this is a learning forum. we have all done it. personally i hate ur play. but it can happen. im with the above about open shoving or folding. after 2 limps earlie im folding KQ here, 1 because ur dominated with this hand so often in all in situations. the only times ur good is when KJ or K 10 shove. and ur reasonable when u have overs. so personnally i fold unless u want to gamble. but 5x folding with ur stack. but gl at the tables

    Thanks for all the comments but I realy did feel my 9's were beaten and there is nothing worse than a crying call. Also it was one of the new "Timed" 15 min. formats - and I did cash so no real harm done.

    Once thanks all --gracie24
