sucked out again

[MovingFlea]

I know how to play ABC poker LorenzOwns. I've playing a rigid, "correct" strategy long enough that I can do it without much thought. There's nothing wrong with deviating from the standard as long as you know why you are doing it. There are so many variables in this game that you simply can't say, well you need to do this, or that, exactly the same way every time.

The reasoning behind my play was, stack size. With less than 10BB (shortstack) shoving is pretty much the best play because you need to increase fold equity as much as possible. With more than 20BB you can afford to take risks and be aggressive, especially pre flop, because you have a stack large enough to make plays and run over bad players.

The most AWKWARD, stack size in tournament poker is, the 15BB range, without antes. At this point, making a raise pre flop and taking it down pre doesn't net you a large pot relative to stack size, and if your continuation bet bluff gets called, you lose half of your stack and are left with, an absolutely crippled stack that is liable to be called liberally by any big stack. This situation, although not the most likely outcome, happens often enough that I wanted to avoid it if possible.

Note that I wouldn't have made the same play out of position. I would have raised it from middle position to get the ace rags to fold.

this is incorrect because since it's a turbo tourney u WANT to GII with KQo. literally 8 min lvls and u'll go from a 15bb stack to 10bb stack. idk what your reads were vs the SB/BB but if they are tight it's an easy open/cbet postflop and if they are sticky players that like to see the flop it's an easy shove.

limping is the 3rd worst play to do pre. yeah u only pick up blinds/no antes but it's a turbo tourney and u needa focus on the most optimal play that is likely to double u up and limping is not it for sure. btw flatting utg with k3s LP is not "abc" poker
