Can one have a worse start to a Tournament? (1 Viewer)

[TheRealTeddyKGB]

To answer your question, yes. You could have played horribly like I did in a tournament played 20 something years ago:

MTT Freezeout w/ about 28 players & only me & my friend had any real poker experience against a bunch of non card players who were just there to eat & drink post tennis. (Club members vs employees so there was definitely a chip on my shoulder)

1st hand of the Tourney pre-flop I'm in the BB, folds all the way around to the SB who shoves & says some shit like "I can't stay long, my wife will kill me."

I look down at KK, snap call & just like Mike, knew it before he flipped it:

Haven't made those mistakes since though...

Not sure where to put it, but I had to share.

Played in a 20 person tournament last night. Starting stacks are 15k (with a shitty chip breakdown) and 100/100 blinds.

I start in the SB. There are 5 limpers, and I look down at AJss and make it 900 to go. 4 calls. 974r flop, so I check. It checks around. 10 turn, I lead for 1k and get 3 callers. Brick River and I check and someone bets. I fold.

Very next hand on the button, 4 limpers, and I have AKhh and make it 800 to go. 3 callers. Q 10 x flop. Checks to me and I bet 1k again. 1 caller. 2nd heart on the turn, checks to me and I check Q on the river and he leads out, I fold.

Hand 3… 10 3 off, I fold.

Hand 4, 3 limpers and I have AA (s/c) and make it 800 again. 2 callers. Flop is 522r and it checks to me. I bet 2K. UTG raises to 4k and it folds to me, and I shove. She calls and shows…

FFS!!!

Rebuy after 4 hands.

in my opinion if you're getting that many limp-callers you should just be value raising way bigger. if they're happy to put money in with worse hands, let em.

I ran KK into AA once on the first hand of the first game playing at a new venue. Only managed to lose half my stack. XD
