Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t170/t340
(Ante: t25)
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t24915
UTG+1: t18385
MP1: t12199
MP2: t4338
MP3: t7912
CO: t14791
Hero: t5226
SB: t17840
BB: t12838

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
6 folds, Hero raises to t900, SB calls t730 (pot was t1635), BB raises to t5000

SB big stack is kinda loose.

BB seems solid. I'm not sure if he would put his whole stack on the line here without a real hand.

edit: forgot to add that I'd be short forever and just doubled in my BB 2 hands ago.

blah, I'd probably fold.

Let this one go:

1) You mentioned the BB was pretty tight. Even of he's only shoving w/ a top 10% hand, you're barely getting the right price.

2) You still have chips (though not alot) to maneuver abit.

3) The SB can make the call rather easily, without fear of getting crippled. I'm not thrilled about taking on (2) villains w/ ATo (even if the SB is a complete dope).

Why risk your tournament life with the likes of ATo? Fold and live to fight another day. At best a coinflip at worst you are crushed... I think you knew the answer before you posted here.
