Are we REALLY willing to gamble to win?
Hypothetical scenario that I think comes up often enough that I should have an answer for it (my typical answer is to shove but I'm an idiot):
It's getting late in the tourney and you are a slightly below average stack (~5k) sitting on the button with AJs. The BB is 400 with an ante of 50.
Assume that the chip leaders in the tourney have just over 20k.
UTG+1 raises to 1400. MP player calls. Both players have a stack of 6,500. There is now approximately 4k in the pot. Shove?
What if I tell you that UTG+1 is going to call you with QQ and MP is going to fold?
Same question as the above but your stack is 4k instead of 5k?
