Poker review: Played in a tournament yesterday and got busted out on this hand. I'm self-evaluating the hand, so feel free to weigh in if you like.


I was the BB in position #2. Position #9 was the dealer. Blinds are 200/400.

#3 chair was empty.

#4 (a mouse) calls for $400. Pot = $1,000.

#5 (a jackal) raises to $650. Pot = $1,650.

#6 (unknown) folds.

#7 chair is empty.

#8 (an elephant) calls for $650. Pot = $2,300.

#9 folds.

#1 SB folds.

I look at Jd Td and call $250 leaving my stack at $3,400. Pot = $2,550.

#4 (the mouse) folds.

THE FLOP comes Kd 3x Qc.

I check.

#4 (the jackal) checks. His stack is about the same as mine, maybe slightly more.

#8 (the elephant) bets the pot at $2,500. He has the largest stack at the table at the moment. Pot = $5,050.

I decide to go all in and slide $3,400 into the middle of the table. Pot = $8,450.

#4 calls. Pot = $11,850.

After much deliberation, #8 folds.

#4 and I go heads up, we turn over our cards, and I'm looking at his Qd Qh to my Jd Td.

THE TURN makes the board Kd 3x Qc Tx.

THE RIVER makes the board Kd 3x Qc Tx 7x.

#4 wins with a set of Queens.

So ... what (if anything) did I do right, and what (if anything) did I do wrong?
