This just happened a little while ago in a Royal freeroll! Sharing this hand because it is my first MTT win!
It’s so sweet to win! Well done, and what a beautiful full house you had there!
Jan
Thanks Jan!
Congratulations Marc. The first of many I am sure. Good luck.
They say the 1st one is usually the hardest and that you’ll never forget it. They also say its usually the quickest. Then again, maybe they were talking about something else?
Congrats Marc!
preflop: there are several reasons to raise preflop.
flop:
turn:
hope this helps.

Sweet! You broke hearts on this one! Well played. Jan
Just won a NL Hold’em Freeroll with Four of a kind 7’s plus a double KO!!
Nice win Marc, saw the broadcast …
So, Let me set the stage… final table, American 15k sat night, If all I do is not play this hand, and blind out, I bet I guarentee me winning TheColleseum promotion… I have played only ultra premium hands and everyone @ table knows it … so what do I do …

Thats right, if I just don’t play this hand, and blind out, I prolly get 3rd or better… now I still have to work for a win in TheColleseum… ohh well … This is why you don’t play Bingo, even with AA
I think a smaller bet size would have saved you a lot of chips. But either way that’s just really bad luck, my condolences.
Sarah - tough beat but you got your chips in as a 5:1 favorite. Less than 10BB’s left and high antes - playing poker, that’s a shove 100%. Playing for leaderboards and bonuses, well that’s another story isn’t it? Just 1 more example of how these promotions affect the game in outsized way. When players even contemplate mucking AA in that spot, it a shame. It sucks that the results of the hand hurt your promotional standing but it was a good play and in poker, its the play, not the result that we control.
Just 1 more thing because I recall you having an issue with the term BINGO player and you described your play above as being bingo. It was not. Bingo playing involves making horrible decisions and counting on luck to bail you out. Getting chips in the middle in such a dominant position isn’t bingo play, the call was. JKs is not even close to a call in a decent players’ mind there. So, you got beat by a bingo player but your own play was fine, regardless of the result.
Warlock,
I played that MTT tighter than any I have ever played here… I was folding AQ & AJ if I wasn’t in prime posistion too… I shudda just folded out , took 2nd , and lock’d in my win for TheColleseum. I feel dirty doing that, I felt really dirty playing my 10th MTT, I folded my way into like 31st outta 93 ppl, only for that not to be enuff pts…
Yes mixing strategies is tough, plus thats 1 more calc we all make when deciding about our competition… are they going for this or that, are they going for hi or lo…makes life interesting I guess… but I shouldda just bet like 60k, then if the flop didn’t put a pair out there, then shove… that wasn’t my choice and I paid for it…
Yes, in a vaccuum… I played the hand 99% correctly, in reality I didn’t I guess.
A fantastic member of these forums… (Not saying any names warlock), once told me
AA vs AKo for stacks? All day every day. Sick flop.
and it actually made me feel better knowing I got it in good (all day everyday).
I think if he’s calling 113K he’s definitely calling 60K but would you believe him if he pushed with 76K? Then you would also only have… something like 4 or 5 big blinds left if you folded…
Trust and believe you did the right thing… even though it stings.
Risk paid off on this one.
Player was all in and figured he was on the Q. Put second player on fishing for a flush or maybe pocket pair.
Two cards to hit my straight. Hit my straight on the turn and second player missed the flush hit on turn so tried to scare him off but he bit for a nice big pot.
I’m not proud of anything that happens on a free poker site. I’m not knocking Replay… this is the best free site online, in my opinion.
Still, I wear a paper bag on my head while playing in case someone looks in the window and sees me playing free poker. Plausible deniability for the win!
I skillfully beat AKs shove with my AKo call https://www.replaypoker.com/hand/replay/445480882
