Cant fold..........or can I? I even myself said TT is the most overplayed hand in hold em.

I dont see the analysis needed. Shortstacked in a $2.20 quintuple shootout, where the standard of ranges is...shocking, TT is huge 4handed.

Short stacked in that kind of tournament, any pocket pair is big. It's a great chance to double up and allow yourself a better shot. I don't see anything wrong with either play. Just an unlucky river.

You always need to keep in mind your position.


You may think you are a good player, like myself, but we are on forums for a reason.

Position is usually the factor that either keeps people from busting or doubling up.

This one source can determine a lifetime.... ? LOL
