Re: 89s Tourney Hand--please advise
[ QUOTE ]
Sorry guys, I'm having a big family problem right at this moment, and I also don't play tournaments. I'm sorry if I'm being thick skinned or not getting the reasoning. I'll read over this stuff later, but right now I'm not understanding why it was bad. Sorry about being argumentative.

Good luck with the family problems.
I'd limp too. Catch a flop and push/call. You are short stacked and need to gamble at some point. This is one of those gambling opportunities.
Pushing all in is another gamble. And not one that I would do. It's too likely that SOMEONE will call you. And you have a Zero showdown hand.
On the flop, you have two choices: Check for the free card, or push all in. Personally I'd push. Flush draw 36% + 14% FE = coin flip. About as good as it gets at this point in the tourney.
You played it fine.
