With JJ
Hi,
Last night, I was in a NL tournament with 12 players. I remember re-buys are allowed for double the original buy-in if in case a player goes out on the very first hand of the tournament.
First hand came and all of us had 1000 chips. Blinds then were 10/20 and I was the small blind. I remember there were 6 callers. At some point, when my turn came, I immediately raised 100 with pocket Js. As a result, player A called, player B folded, player C raised all in, player D called, player E followed and also called, and lastly player F folded. After a while I decided to fold and player A called. I can sense back then that player A would call thus making 4 callers against me, two of the four are for sure tight ones. Well, with 12 sets of cards I don’t think my cards would hold up. At such point, do you think I should just fold?
Before I forget, turns out all of them were searching for flushes and a pair of 6′s took the winnings.
Glad to hear from you soon.
Many thanks,
Eric
Eric,
Since this was rebuy event, you should have called, even if you felt you were behind. In rebuy events, you need to push your strong hands and hope to get lucky. If you bust out the event, rebuy. The fact that this was a rebuy event explains the amount of action. As a result making calls such as that will usually pay off. Yes, you hand has reduced odds when its multi way, but you need to take some chances in rebuy events. Otherwise you will just sit there with a normal sized stack at the end of the rebuy period with a long road to travel to have a chance to do well.
