$4 MTT 180 people, 38 left.

Definite fold. If you had something more substanial maybe KJ+, AT+, 88+, then this move gets much easier or if you had position. I like calling or reraising with any 2 cards if villain is instaraising preflop, can lay down 3rd pair postflop (hard to find at these stakes), and you have position.

Actually, I went All in, in order to make CO fold. BUT, BB called and CO folded. BB showed KK... OOOOOOOUUUUT [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. So, which would be a good situation to re-steal?? Should I have the original raiser covered?? Should I be the last to act??

[Yo Adrians!]

With stack sizes the way they are, this is just not the time to re-steal without some kind of a read on the CO. I can't stress this enough. There's no reason to do it, you aren't committed to the pot, and there's still someone left to act.

Lots of time. One of the biggest mistake people make in these 180s is not being patient enough. Be patient. You'll find much, much, much better spots than this.

Having a 40bb stack is not a good time to attempt a resteal allin. If you had a real good read on CO that he was weak you could reraise to 2200 or something and fold to further resistance. There is no reason to shove your 40bb stack in to find out if CO is weak and if bb has anything.

Agree with you again mobfather.

Also, this could sound dumb, but esp. with $4 tournaments, you can easily tell that someone has a considerably good hand when they raise 4x unless they have been doing this all along...they want to get chips IN
