Deep in Stars $3r, BSB play
We're 7 handed, down to 30 people left in the $3r on stars. It was folded to me on the button and the two chip leaders of the tournament were in the blinds. My stack was 1/3 of each of their stacks and I decided to raise with KTo, and I think I played it terribly.
With an M of 6, I think I should've just shoved or folded this here, but I am really leaning towards shoving. With over 300k in chips, I can reduce either of these players stacks to 600k should they call and lose, making them equal to me and pulling them out from the chip lead. Even if I am called by AQ or something this time I really don't mind as I think this play will still be a +EV play in the long run. Instead, I made a 3x BB raise and the hand played out. I felt like I had to fold rather than come over the top on the flop because I probably didn't have any fold equity.

Re: Deep in Stars $3r, BSB play
pushing PF is my default option here Primarily BECAUSE we have no FE left in our stack after he calls our standard raise and bets the flop.
FE = good. NO FE = teh suck... |

Re: Deep in Stars $3r, BSB play
So you agree with pushing this pre-flop here rather than folding it? I'm pretty sure pushing here is the optimal play...
