I lost a huge multiway pot when I raise pre, short stack shoved, 2 large stacks behind cold called, and a re-jammed. AK < J9s for a huge ~150 bb pot in at the late stages of an mtt when I had ~53% equity to win the hand. J9 cold called a jam and re-jam with nearly 60 bbs.fundiver199 said:Exactly. That hand, I shared, usually ends up in a poker forum, if the fish makes trips or two pair on the river, and then the player, who got his aces cracked, is on crazy monkey tilt. But as you say, we need to stay focused on the long run, and far more often this is, what happen. We get the full dubble up, and the fish essentially just donated his 3,5$ to the pricepool.
I just said 'nh' and moved on. No need to get caught up over something like this. In fact, this is the type of play you want to see because this is the type of play that'll get you deep into mtts. Luckily, I had everyone covered and was able to rebuild my stack.
Bad/new players just see the negative side of the results. The only focus on that they lost or j9s risked 60 bbs and won. They don't see that this is so profitable and this is exactly what you want when you play mtts. You don't want players to fold hands that's going to pay you off in the long run. This happens so often in the micros, you practically print money in the long run.
