Had QQ hand 5 on BT (I joined late so had 2960 chips).UTG bets 3 BB (120), MP2 & HJ call, I decide to raise to 600. UTG goes all-in w/2712 chips and HJ goes all-in w/2270 chips. Darn. I decide to call anyway, partly because UTG has been in almost all hands so far. There is a side pot of 884 chips.
UTG shows 4c 5c (why was he in there?) and HJ shows As 6s (same question). I could win, neither have the kind of cards I expected for all-in bets this early. Flop 6s 9d 3s. HJ pairs his 6 and UTG has an up and down straight draw. Turn Ac. HJ now has two pair. River 3c. HJ wins and I get the side pot.
Hand 16, after gaining a few chips I give up 300 to a possible flush and lose. I should know better than to call!!
Hand 19. I have Qd 8h in HJ position w/752 chips. UTG limps (which I don't think I noticed at the time), rest fold to me, and I go all-in and if I'm lucky I pick up a few chips. CO w/6375 chips calls and rest fold. He shows As 9d. At least I have 2 good cards. Flop Qs 6d 6c. I pair my Queen. Turn 10s, so far so good. River Ah. I'm done.
At such an early point I'd have been best to go slower with my pocket Q's, or at least fold to the all-in bet and call. Thought they didn't have great cards, I didn't know that, and I could have just as well been going up against AA & KK. This is a tournament after all and I want to be there at the end, and there will be other chances to pick up chips later. Yes, I DO KNOW THAT!! :-)
