3+.25 45man Turbo - Help Me Gain Some Chips

[ItalianFX]

I was doing really well in this tourney. At one point I was 2nd with about 21. I was running over the table at one point, knocking out 3 people within like 4-5 hands.

My problem though is later in the tournament when the blinds are high compared to the stacks. I really suck at "Push Poker," but even worse at "Call-a-raise Poker."

Stack sizes:
UTG: t5775
UTG+1: t8102
CO: t3050
Button: t2020
Hero: t3720
BB: t13128

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to t2400</font>, 3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t3670</font>

Villain is 61.9/19.05 over 21 hands.

Is this basically a no-brainer?

Also, the lesson I want to take from this thread is, "How do I become more aggressive later in the tourney?" I want to be able to build a stack like the best players, but I feel like I am way too tight. So if you could put it into your own words, however you can say it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Well, at first I was going to say this is a fold...then I saw villain's stats. Easy easy shove.

BTW, these turbos are very profitable, although a bit high variance. The key to these are sound STT principles of push-botting. There isn't really opportunity to "build" a big stack. Eventually, you just have to keep open-shoving until you get one.

Send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send you a couple of wins/2nd places if that would be helpful.

Fine spot to take a gamble with that stack size IMO
