Oh by the way if I remember correctly we were down to the final 18-19 or so in nl$30 mutli.

I'd go all in considering both their stack sizes are small. If they both had 3 times as many chips then a fold would be more understandable. They're both pretty desperate at this point and I expect to be winning the vast majority of the time

[Exitonly]

easy push. those stacks are tinnnny

[Bob L]

mines only slightly bigger than the reraiser and i thought at best I would be racing.Losing that pot would have left me in bad shape.At the time I thought I would wait for a better spot -my freind disagreed and said he would have pushed.

[Exitonly]

all sorts of pairs isolate there. Also AJs+. and KQs too probably.

[mornelth]

Given these guy's pushing ranges at this point - you're more than 50% to TRIPLE your investment here. You need to accumulate chips if you're trying to win this thing.

Push.

The fact that you would have lost this PARTICULAR hand does not chage the fact that the CORRECT play for you was to push.

You are giving far too much credit to opponents' hand strength late in a tournament, especially with these stack sizes.

Jason,

When I saw you responded to this thread, before I opened it I kept wondering in what words you would have said that. Needless to say, your response was a lot less sarcastic and complicated than I would have expected. Your way works too I guess [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
