Default Re: 5+0.50 PS MTT-AA what now?

Can you repost this using a hand converter? I can't even tell what position you are in preflop, etc. Why did you raise 5xBB pf? That's a good way to kill your action.

Also, you have to push because the stacks aren't deep enough for you to do anything else. The cold hard truth of online MTTs is that with very shallow stacks, sometimes there is no way to prevent yourself from going broke when you are beat. This is one of those situations; assume you have the best hand until your opponent does something to convince you otherwise.

If you pushed and he had you beat, tough break. If you pushed and he outdrew you, tough beat. There isn't really any other course of action here. Can you really put him on a flopped flush or maybe the turned straight (JT) with the little information we have now? If you check, are you really going to fold to a bet? He could have a number of holdings including Kx or x[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]x [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] .
