    How did I play this tournament exit hand?

    Hello. I'm working on my endgame and I'm trying to figure out if the gambling gods are being fair or if I'm getting myself into spots I should be avoiding.

    I will post the exit hand of every online tournament I play (there won't be too many) and hopefully I can get advice on each situation.

      Its kinda pointless. Your stats and actions before your exit hand might play a huge part in it.

      For instance if you have shown down a couple of sh1te hands and then get called when you shove the button or cutoff.

          As I get used to posting hands I will give those details. Some advice on the fundamentals would help a lot for now.

                  Are you just posting bad beats? Have you had a look around the theory forum to see how others have posted their hands?

                  Just looks like your own BBV imo.

                  You should not be posting the results of the hand as it will give people a bias in their responses. This is said for your benefit.

                  I'd be shocked if you thought there was something wrong with some of these hands.

                    Fair enough the first ones seem to be venting but there will be ones that I might not realise were mistakes. Any input is appreciated. Its more of a log of my endgame than my own personal bitching session.

                      Exit hands are old hat. They are often symptomatic of previous plays. I feel I've been running bad lately but I don't making a thread which is basically your own bbv. If you want to improve as a player this is a good place to do so but this is not the way to do so.

                      Post hands where you are faced with a difficult decision with any reads/other info you have and without results and this will get you the benefit of other's experience and thus (hopefully!) improve your own game.

                      Just mo of course

                          Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO bets t1835 all in, Hero calls t980 all in, MP2 folds

                          Turn: (t3210) T (2 players - 2 are all in)

                          River: (t3210) 9 (2 players - 2 are all in)

                          Final Pot: t3210
                          CO shows K T (three of a kind, Tens)

                          CO wins t3210

                          In this hand anyway, after a raise and a call of 150 preflop, I definately raise a bit more than you do. By raising to 400 here, youre invting both players to call you. I make it 500 or 550 here, and try to get the pot heads up.
                          After the flop, I cant see any reason to check here.In fact, its a hugely draw heavy board, and you dont want to be giving free cards to 2 opponnents. Theres 1300 in the pot, you have 1900 behind. You can bet 75% of the pot on the flop being 1st to act with a view to calling a push, or you could just shove for the 1900. You'll get snapped off by AQ, KQ, JQ, KJ and often by guys with 2 diamonds.

                          You did get it all in in great shape, but it was by accident more than by design. The result of the hand is meaningless really.

                            I was thinking after the check on the flop was a terrible move considering SPR and board. thanks.
