    sorry for posting this twice, but need your opinions if i should have waited till people couldn't get any more re-buys (5 mins away) before committing most of my healthy stack?

    playing in the cork celtic poker tourno last thursday night. Starting with 5k chips, built up to 21k after playing only around 4 hands. 5 minutes left till the end of the re-buys & getting a chance of a top-up of 10k. Blinds at 100/200.UTG (chips 11k) raises to 2000, and had being playing very loose and aggressive all night. was on BB with QQ. simply called, putting him on Ax or even KQ....flop comes 2,4,7 all rags. checked. He raises 2k, so i went all in. he turns over JKo ...wtf??????

    turn 6...river Kd...ffs...

    so, from a position of going into the break with around 33k, i went into the break down to 5k..

    know 100% that he was going to call pre-flop or post-flop with any hand, should i have waited till the break , going into it with around 30k (incl top-up) instead of risking everything against an erratic player???

    No ...... if you're read was right, you could have even gone all-in Pre-Flop, you want to get your money in here as a 70% favourite, every time, it doesn't matter when it is, IMHO this is the absolute best time to get a big hand like this, for the below reasons:
    1) The chances of you doubling or even trippling up is much greater, as people will call with some very strange hands, this might mean you will be outdrawn more but see 2 below
    2) If you happen to be outdrawn, have a BB inflicted, etc. you're not out of the tournament :D , had this happened after the break and by some miracle he called, you'd be on the way home.....

    Be happy that you you played it perfectly and he was a retard. You want him making these calls. Shrug move on, and don't play on the Celtic Poker tour.
