I would definately bet the pot.. If CO is on flush draw let him pay for it. Which will give you alot of chips if he calls and he dont hit.

I don't really like it, but I can't see any other line.

Absolutely. I would have pushed pre-flop after the UTG raised all in (or couldnt you because his small raise only allowed you to call?). You're probably up against at least one AK and possibly a pocket pair or two. If one of them caught their set...good for them. This seems like it's early enough in the MTT that you cannot worry about a set and pass up a chance to get all your money in with such a juicy pot. You have to chip build at this stage and that pot has your name on it. You certainly don't want to check and give a card with such a draw heavy board. If you make any bet but all-in and get re-raised, it will make you question the strength of your hand even though AJ will make this play on you. PUSH IT IN.

Doh sry, thought that was listed. It was one of those terrible Stars 4/180 SNGs. I really hate those, I do much better in the 20s for some reason (insert "respect your raises" joke here.)

Easy push

JCool · #9 05-25-2006, 07:29 PM

Well there's no question its a push in a 4/180
