Thursday I go out when my AQ comes up against AK.
Tonight I go out when my AK comes up against AQ and the board comes TJ859 for the straight.
Doesn"t matter which way I look at it, I"m running bad, still.
GL to all left in.
it doesnt help when u go all in on the bb with 16BB left at 75/150 with KQo after i standard raise from the button. hero (aka me) calls with A9 only for you to "run bad" and flop your K....not that im bitter leigh
Had you down as trying to nick the blinds, which bearing in mind you had A9, wasn"t such a bad read. A9 os v KQ (sooted mind you) is not such a bad position to be in.
When you compare it to the hands I mentioned in my original post :-
AQ v AK, I"m behind and made a push and would have been really lucky to get out of that one.
AK v AQ, I"m ahead and as the cards come down, the only thing going to save him was a 9 on the river and he got it. That"s poker.
Maybe I shouldn"t say I"m running bad at the moment, perhaps I need to stop putting my tournament life on the line with marginal hands like AK and AQ.
Then again, your call with A9 tells me you might have done the same as me.
