$6.50 45man turbo on Stars - making a play with 98o
No strong reads. I shoved preflop once and a super short stack called. I showed AKo and won the pot. Otherwise, I haven't done much.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) Hero (t1565) BB (t1370) UTG (t3840) MP (t1970) CO (t995) Button (t1280) Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t150, Button: calls t150, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1565</font> Is there enough dead money in the pot to make this move? I felt that I had a lot of fold equity against these players and that this move could be successful. Should I have waited until I had a shorter stack? |

Stack size is fine, but I don't think they're folding, especially the last 2.

I've been trying this move from the blinds a little more lately. And it seems like everyone usually folds except for the last guy who I guess thinks something like "I can't let this guy get away with this, zomg i'm getting 3:2", and calls with K8, 65s, A3, etc. and wins.

No one else worried by the UTG limp?
I generally give more credit to an UTG/UTG+1 limp, and also to a limp from the button or CO with decent blind sizes. Not too much credit of course, I mean they still limped, but I think the combinaation of the two shorties who are getting good odds, and the UTG limper, I think I'd wait for a better spot. |

I'd think that the first two are most likely to fold because of the concern of what villain will do behind them. I also thought that the second caller was weak and that I could push him out by providing crap pot odds. |

My experience in these is that people fold more than they should when they don't have money in the pot, but once they've at least limped they find a way to call. CO is getting 2:1, and the last guy will be getting a good price and closing the action if CO folds, or a ridiculously good price if CO calls.
