Interested in feedback on the following hand.
Middle of a tournament on PokerStars, I'm currently in 71st place; payouts start at pos. 820; there's still 871 left in it.
Blinds 200-400; I pick up 3h-3d in the big blind.
Hijack bets 1000; button calls. I call
Flop is Ah-3c-Ad. I check. HJ bets 2500, button calls. I call
Turn is 3s. I check, HJ checks, button bets 3250. I call. HJ folds.
River is 8h. I bet half pot, button pushes all in, I call. And lose to pocket aces.
Now I realize that this was a massive cooler (DUH!). But, in discussions with friends, everyone says I should have no problem folding the river. I just don't think I can...I lose to exactly one combination!
This tilted me for a couple of weeks...I'm a nice guy, don't understand why the Poker Gods were so upset with me!
Can anyone come up with a lucid reason for a fold here?
Mike
