What was your mistake?

Blinds 2,000/4,000 get dealt pocket 5's with about 220k, 1 limper UTG with about 400k ( had this guy down as a fish and he had been playing any 2 cards) so I just call , sb folds and bb checks. Flop comes down 56Q rainbow, BB checks UTG bets 16K I reraise to 52k , bb folds and UTG flats. Turn comes the 4 and UTG open shoves. My head/instincts say "f@#% he has the straight" my heart says "He made the same move with top pair and 2 pair earlier". Went with my heart, he had the straight and it was all over. Could have folded and still had a decent stack behind. Worst part was the same guy was out within about 20 minutes of this hand despite being chip leader when I went out. Oh well as I said we live and learn.

Day 2 of a decent tourney blinds are 1500/3000 400 ante average stack 74k. Im dealt pkts 10 s on the button with 54k behind, mid pos. shoves for 14k. its folded to me with the sb on 80k and the bb on 312k, what would be your play and the thinking behind it. Anyone?

Shove, get it heads up and hope the SB/BB do not wake up with a hand. Flatting just sucks as if either of sb or bb shoves you are in a more difficult position and folding just sucks unless the player shoving is super Nitty and you know they are only making this move with a big pocket pair. Can I ask what did you do?

Lol as Wabbit said i shoved it in, only to hear the chip leader in the BB say 'oh this is so sick' fark he has KK. Oh well im not sure ive had anyone say fold, it was never in my mind to flat so guess it was my fate. Im not sure ill play the first hand day 2 from now on, ive shoved twice from the button now only to run into KK and AA.

See you soon in Melb. Hopefully i dont clash with you early as you are only getting stronger and dont get nervous you are ready.

Running into kings ouch but really just unlucky.

Ditto. There are a few players here that I do not want to run in to and you are definitely one of them. But que sera sera what ever will be will be. Good luck to you and all playing in the main event and regardless of what happens hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Tough to fold there Gayle, don't sweat it too much. Raise pre with 55 I say, but it sounds like he may have called anyway.
What is your mailing address? I have a present for you.

Ever since finding out that Annie Duke was Howard Lederers sister I have been dying to read her book. Again i was so excited to receive it you are a legend. I am sure it will be wonderful to get another woman's perspective on the game and from such a legend of the game (pre fantasy league).

Please read it with a grain of salt.
