Re: Deep in the tournament and your tournament life is at stake

no way jose I call this deep in a mtt.
that was a bad decision on your part. Even if he has like king queen.. he can still suck out on you and bust you.
2 things to remember deep an a mtt.
1.) If you tango with the chip leader, you better have the nuts or something close to, because he can bust you.
2.) If your one of the top chip leaders, it is really easy to bully/steal from smaller stacks than to play against the big stack. Even if you have a tempting hand PF and he shows strength, you need to think about folding it to avoid tough post flop decisions for all your chips.

No... just, no. First of all, if you know he has King Queen, there is absolutely no reason not to call. You can't be afraid of the suckout when you're the favorite. Second, your first point is playing way too weak. You can't just let the chip leader run over you. You're in the tourney to finish first, not to coast into the money. When you have a chance like this to double up and crush the big stack, you take it given the reads. I call this every time.
