PS $11 20K in the money, 4 4 with blinds coming fast.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, about 250 left out of 2414 players
At this level the diff. in money from 1 place to the next is vertually nill. People have been dropping like flies. shoving with 8 2 os etc. UTG+1 has been lucky lately, and since winning a few big pots, has been calling to see a lot of flops. MP1 has seemed fairly solid, but has takin down a few unshown pots with re-raises. Blinds are 600/1200 (9 handed) ante is t125 BB (t23815) UTG (t16856) UTG+1 (t56761) MP1 (t21252) MP2 (t37105) MP3 (t59596) Hero (t10331) Button (t3836) SB (t26414) Preflop: Hero is CO with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t1200, MP1 raises to t3600, 2 folds Hero? |

This is an easy fold to me. Even though the tournament is in shove anything mode, MP1 has a good size stack and is raising from early to mid position. He'll have irresistable odds to call you as well. Your hand is a flip at best here. With your stack I'm looking to be the first one in, and when you raise you're pushing.

I agree w/ BamBam. In HOH2 Inflection points, it mentions that first-in vigorish is the most important aspect when playing with a short(er) stack. I might push w/ just the call, but the raise in front of me has me folding all but the top hand ranges (JJ+, AK).

With two people in, and a raise, and they both have you covered I'd say fold. Wait for a spot to open push.

Get a laptop with a wireless card for your wife to use so you can play without being interrupted.

She started her screaming early I had pocket nines and a 9 showed as a middle card on a rainbow flop, 1 player went all in ahead of me and while I was trying to decide what to do about the 3 players to act behind me, she spun my chair around and started yelling " It's only a Damn Game" So I guess I'll have to buy laptop #3 or leave .....which now seems very +EV [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] Your other factor may push your decision a little towards calling. However, with a short stack, it's just a matter of time before your double-up or out moment. Even with marital pressures, I still think this is a fold. |
