Live rebuy MTT ($100 + $50R/A) :: donk = me
 

176 started. We're down to 30. Rebuy period is long over. Top 10 get paid, and generally split the prize pool. I've been at this table for about 45 minutes. It is 9 handed. Table is playing tight... very few flops seen.

The players:
MP3 (me) :: 80K in chips, I haven't shown anything down at this table.

CO :: 7.1K in chips... tight old player... I've been stealing his BB every nearly every orbit.

Button :: 75K in chips... local solid regular, was just in an all-in preflop pot the hand before where he doubled with KK > A-10

Average chip stack is in the range of 45K.

Blinds are 1000/2000 w/200 antes

Folded to me and I raise to 8.8K with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

CO goes all in for 7.1K.

Button thinks for a while. Stacks off some chips like he's thinking about raising... then he eventually just calls the 8.8K raise. This process takes about 30 seconds. I'm weighting his range toward mid pocket pair and AK/AQ.

All else folds.

So 22.4K in main pot and 3.4K in the sidepot.

Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I'm first to act... and push my remaining chips in the pot.

How horrible is this?

Thanks,

It's pretty dry pot. Tough spot. I might try and check it down.

pushing 70k into 22k pot = bad. this is something i would consider if i had AA/KK, but not a drawing hand. I would do 2 things, either bet 15K, which will hopefully fold out AK/AQ, and u can easily fold to a shove b/c your most likely up against a set or QQ or also check calling a reasonable bet would be ok but hopefully you can just check down. either is better than shoving
