Chip Leader 4 players left - All In

[Brizza]

4 players left
I'm chip leader on the button with about 47,000 chips
Second closest about 37,000 chips in the big blind
First to act, folds, I move all in with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Small blind folds, big blind calls with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Big blind ends up winning.

What do you guys think? bad play or good play?

What are the blinds?

Probably standard, I like to make normal raises. So it's not that easy to figure out when I have a hand and when I want a fold. what would you do with a premium hand here?

[bigentx]

What are the blinds? Either way this looks standard.

what were the sizes of the other 2 stacks? I do not like the play, especially with another big stack still active. What was your table image? had you made moves like this several times? I can tell you that unless you were a manic i would not have called with A 7o

[Brizza]

Blinds were 5,000/10,000

[/ QUOTE ]
My table image was fairly unknown as the final table hadn't been playing for very long and I hadn't shown any cards. If anything probly learning towards tight aggressive. Before that move I had gone all in twice in about 10 hands.

wow not even 5 big blinds and chip leader? Was this a live tournament?

The all-in there is pretty much mandatory with 5 BB

[Brizza]

Yes it was a live tournament.

Was just wondering if I should've pushed all in considering my position or should I have folded.

I think calling with A 7 wasn't the best call but it was good enough at the time.

[Teo2001]

I think all-in was the right move but he also did (A7o)
I think in a live tournament with 5 BB left was mandatory move .
I allwais split the whole prize in thath position of the tournament even if I'm cheepleader because I think with effective M of 2 (or less) it's only luky factor

[SuperUberBob]

You and your opponent played their hands correctly.

Live bar tourneys are total crapshoots towards the endgame.

[DaBruns77]

Why would you push? You only get called by a better hand.... it's not worth the risk
