I was playing in a tournament at @Highli99's place a couple weeks ago. NLHE tourney with two rebuys per person within the first four levels. We were in lever 3, I had not rebought yet.
I had been playing just short of tight to this point. I had showed after a preflop raise that all folded to earlier. Mainly so I could say "four tits", but also to show to the guys I hadn't played with before that I'm not just buying blinds.
Blinds were 100/200 and I am sitting on 6,600ish chips, Player 1 (@Highli99) is on my right and Player 2 is on my left. We are all in middle position. I am the shortest stack of the 3.
Folds to Player 1, who raises it to 675. I look down at and call, thinking that, based on how the table had played until then, that raise was enough to get us playing heads up. Player 2 takes one second and says "ok, I'm going all in". Folds all the way around to Player 1 who instantly goes all in. Now I know that it is way too soft to fold here, and I never do, but I had a crazy sense that one of them had aces. I can't explain it, I was convinced. I'm not clairvoyant, but I have some ability to read people. I thought for a bit, then tossed them in.
Player 1 turned over , Player 2 turned over . I was wrong. Flop comes turn was and river was for Player 2 to make his flush and Player 1 to rebuy.
I was wrong, but it saved me this hand. Didn't matter much as I busted after the rebuy period ended. I realize I played this wrong and this should have been jam city for me. Question is, do you guys always ignore feelings in situations when the play is obvious?
