At about this time I get dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG. As the deal is finishing, and play is about to start with me, the two hold outs start talking like they will probably agree to a chop at the break. I think about it for a few seconds and ditch big slick

lol wtf

people like you in endgame situations is the reason I play tournaments

So in this situation, with the table basically agreeing to chop ten ways in a six pay tourney in two or three hands, you having by far the smallest stack (so small that doubling up here leaves you as the small stack) you shove? I'm certainly no pro, so I guess it could be the right move, but I don't think so.

grow some balls and play to win not fold so you can chop for 770.

to maximize EV, play to win, don't play to cash, play to win, had you trippled or even doubled up you prob woulda had a good stack

ya, you pretty much cost yourself at least 1500 by mucking instead of pushing (assuming anybody would have called)
