After 1 limper, I limp on the button with J\/6c. Small Blind and Big Blind come along.<\/p>\n
At this point I have 73,000. SB has 25,000. BB has 30,000. Early limper has 10,000.<\/p>\n
The flop is Ac\/Qc\/6d. Amazing flop for me as I actually connected and I have the 2nd nut flush draw.<\/p>\n
Small Blind leads out. Big Blind raises. At this point, I have them both on some combination of Aces. No idea about the short stacked limper, but probably a small pair or an Ace with a weak kicker. I\u2019m not worried about me making my flush and still losing.<\/p>\n
I go all-in. I figure that if the short stack calls but the other 2 fold it\u2019s no big deal even if he wins. If the other folks call, I won\u2019t be as happy, but I still have a good chance of winning.<\/p>\n
Short stack calls. Small Blind folds. Big Blind makes a crying call.<\/p>\n
Short stack has 6\/6 for the flopped set. Wow. Did not expect that especially when I have the last 6.
\nBig Blind has A\/8o. About where I put him.<\/p>\n
The turn and river do not help me and I finish the hand with 42,000.<\/p>\n
Of course it\u2019s not the results I wanted, but I think I would play this hand the same way next time. It was a great opportunity to gain a LOT of chips and if I\u2019m going to continue in the tournament I need to continue to build my chip stack. With 42,000 chips I have 21 big blinds left. A little short, but still room to maneuver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
