I just played Flyweight $400.00 GTD bounty tournament on Party Poker buy in $1.10.
Second hand of the game i am in late position with 3 3 no raise i front i limp and the flop come Q 3 6 rainbow the guy before me bet 1,100 and i called the turn come with a 9 he shove and i called with my set he open his Q Q and i was out playing one hand of the tournament.
If he had raised his Q pre i would have certainly fold my little pair but he did not to bad.

It was a verry bad move to play the QQ slowly in the first hand. Normally you can see maniacs go all in in the first levels in freerolls or micro limit games. But his trap works and so he was thinking his playing style are a good idea
I'm usually in the early stages of the tournament if I come good cards I play so if I have a bad and then according to the opponent's game do at the right time raise and tend to win .. although this does not always work ... and at first, yes ... quite a lot of maniacs who love to go allin .. usually are players from Brazil and Romania .. in these countries, especially a lot of crazy players

PINOTTE. That's an unlucky outcome from a potentially great starting position . It's always frustrating when you think you have done well, especially based on the other players approach to betting and then WHAM.... You get hit with a hand that beats yours. Keep the faith and keep,playing well.

Set over set is always ugly, and chances to escape are slim, with only one out. And in such a low buy-in tourney one can`t fold that set, even in the first hand of the tourney, as a lot of players will play AA or AQ in a similar way.

the same happened to me many times , it is not possible to have three players set , I several times out immediately with AA , so I will continue to tournaments not all in, I'll wait slowly in the tournament to make the supply of chips , then I 'm playing aggressive poker

This must have been quite a sickener when he turned over pocket Queens. How this guy didnt raise pre-flop with his hand i will never know. Set over Set is always a very tough beat to take and i feel your pain!!

The good thing is that you lost fast in the tournament. It is better losing early. than playing for hours and not hitting the money. Of course the bad thing here is that it was a buy in tournament Better luck on next one pinotte, and dont forget to play badugi

Hers where u make 3bet 4bet old timer, to have a better idea on what kind of hand is he holding, but even if u 3bet pre flop and he just flat or 4bet, on of u would have flat and on a flop like that, it was just unavoidable to put all your chips in, i would not have folded there if he shoved like he did, so go easy on you buddy, it happens
