4 ALL-IN's and I get knocked out!!!!

[tazmision89]

Let see, I had an over to best the 8's, 10's and Q's with the 2nd best TK you can have. Not to mention you still had a deck full of spades that were in my favor. How could I not be in good shape? Of course I didn't know what everyone had till they showed their hands, but I was confident enough to know that my hand was strong when I made the call. The BB player never big rasied a pot unless he had mid to high pocket pairs (5xBB) and small raised when he was connecting (3xBB) with high suitors or KQ unsuited and moves all-in when he has AA, KK, AK. He made his move because just like me, we were short stacked and needed to make a move before the level ended. The 1st position is tight as hell and only raises the pot when he feels he has the nuts . The chip leader is a loose player always making moves and could have had anything in the hole.


After viewing all of the cards on the table I was a 30% - 33% favorite to win the hand. After the flop that went up higher. I can not see how you can't view it as a favorable hand with my chip stack and being the last hand at that blind level?

Remember, this is a LIVE action game and not online. I had the opportunity to study what my opponents were doing throughout the tourney. If the hand came again, no doubt in my mind I would have done it all over again.
