um how many are left and how many make it etc?

I'd usually just call and get allin on a lot of flops. As bad as people are, very tough to expect people to call allins here with AK and QQ. Once they have bet after the flop, they will feel a lot more committed with any kind of overpair.

Of course some bad things can happen too, such as an ace flopping, or they hit some set or whatever. I think that if I had like 15k chips I'd just move allin preflop.


Moving in anyway is never going to be too bad, especially in a satellite where any kind of gambles should be scrutinized as much as possible.

In this particular tournament unless the villian has shown himself to be a bad satellite qualifier I think it's a lot more unlikely you get called by AK/QQ if you push than in a normal tournament so I'd just call checkraise almost any flop without an A.

I 3b here. 1st, the original pfr is UTG+1. Then, you have a r/r of &gt;3x the original raise and he is raising an EP raiser. This mean he has to have a big hand. I re-pop this to 6k-7k and I expect that one of them will be willing to go ai here pf.

Btw, I think that calling like Curtains said is fine as well. I dont think that you can misplay this hand pf here other than allowing the EP raiser to come in with a PP to hit a set.

[TheNewf]

er I kinda misread but yeah I'd still call and get in on good flops. Be careful on flops with an A or Q.

[Dalek]

I think calling may be the best if you think the UTG may raise again. If not i prefer raising here.

ok ok you probably right, they wont always call with QQ, AK, but definitely will sometimes, and with worse.
