but after watching the videos saying you should keep it tight early on id like to know what you had when you put your entire stack in with this hand

did you think people would fold or did you have a monster and begged for a donkish call?

thanks, dan

This is a multi-table sit and go tournament.

I have this tournament recorded, but I dont remember the second hand - however sure looks like a mid pair being protected here. I dont think its a mistake to protect your hand against loose players by shoving after the flop if I figure they might be waiting for an ace or king to fall. I am big odds favorite here and way ahead there with the best hand, and I want to make it very expensive for a wanker to want to look for his card.

The alternative in this spot is to value bet, and then see an ace on the turn or river.... I am usually screwed! It is all relative to my profiling of the players too in that I got TWO full tilt kids to fold there.... I was probably better off with that result.
