Blew it.

I totally sucked in the weekly CT game. Couldn't get anything going at all. Didn't really understand the last hand either. Just look at how it played out:

Not really sure I could have made a bad play there, just didn't pan out. Oh well.

The weekend is upon us, and I plan on playing many tournaments. I hope there's good news to report on Monday.

Also signed up for that Pokerstars affiliate program, but I can't for the life of me figure out to get the damn thing set up. Did this do it?

don't limp. if you think you're too short to raise (hint: yes), then just lay it down.

after you limp i think it plays itself, including how he played it to some extent.

yeah I'm never folding QQ there in his spot. When you limp-call pf your range doesn't include any Kx hands. Which means on the flop there are only three combos that he can't profitably get it in against (66,77,67). Since its much more likely with that coordinated of a board that you have an OESD, or a flush draw then I think its a fairly easy call. Your range is much more heavily waited towards drawing hands and if you have 67 he isn't that big of a dog.

with your stack size that's probably a fold pf, but matt's right, if you are going to play there you need to raise so you don't expose the strength of your hand.

If you were playing full ring cash games you could try limp-calling here for implied odds, or even mix in limping UTG with AA/KK/AK to go for a limp reraise. But I still think both of those are inferior strategies to simply raising 100% of the hands that you play UTG.
