My game has improved a lot the last days and it looks like i don't get any bad beats anymore too. Two excellent news for me and i enjoy playing poker, i decided to play more tourneys from now as it looks like im doing good so far.
Soooo i decided to play that 180 players 4$ tourney on poker stars today and managed to get to the final table, chip leader. Then i did something utterly stupid but i'd like you guys to comment what happened and tell me if i made a mistake (i did make a mistake but any comments would be welcome). Remenber, im just a beginner, any suggestions on that case will be GREATLY appreciated.
Ok, couldn't find the hand, i leaved the table real fast after i lose because i was pretty pissed on my stupidity: im on the SB (50k), everybody falls to me i hold AJo, villain is on BB (40k). Ideal spot, so i 3BB raise, he raises me 3 more. What you have to know is that i spent mucho time with this guy and he took some pots from me and was caught bluffing a lot, playing pretty LAG. I call his re-raise, here comes a low flop, like 4710 rainbow, i push like 4k on a 7k flop and he goes all-in. Normally i would have folded that shit in a heart beat but it was getting personal between him and me (huge mistake here).
I activated the timer, i know he's a big time bluffer and the chances that he's holding a better hand than me are low, and i was 100% sure he didn't hit the flop (wich was true). He forced me to lay down several hands before with air betting agressivly, so i called.
He was holding AKo, no J on turn nor river to suck my way out and i've lost 40k chips in 1 hand. After that i lose to him JJ vs his AKo AI PF, finished 8th.
so my question is, what u guys do in that kind of situation ? is there any guidelines ? did i make the right decision with out being results oriented ? i mean i could have sat on my chips and easily finished top 3 easily and earning more money (216 bucks for the first place). Im trying to think about it and i don't think my decision was bad, am i wrong ?
Anyway during the tourney i hit a Royal flush ! booya !

that's what i was putting him on: a pure bluff.
But you can tell he was overly agressive, he went all in on flop and i could have hold a PP, beating him easily. |

unless he has a history of not only bluffing you but also of 3betting preflop with worse hands than AJ and playing his bluffs in the same way described, i just think the fact this was 3bet preflop coupled with how deep you were in stacks makes this either an easy preflop fold (although considering your description of him i dont dislike calling) i think a much better move by you on the flop would have been to check-raise or c/f and i think calling his all in is a vry bad move when taking everything into account, stack sizes fact its final table fact it was 3bet but most importantly fact the size of the pot was so small in comparison to the bet its just a spot you dont want to be in without a steller read and i mean you are almost sure in your mind that your AJ beats him,and coincsides exactly with how you think he wouyld play a bluff in this spot but considering your learning e.t.c i really dont think you needed to be involved here |

ok thx for the input XeliN, next time i won't risk that much in just 1 hand and like u said a c/f on flop would have been a better move, even if i know he would have pushed (he was over aggro). |

You're in for some heartbreak if you think you don't get bad beats any more. |
