Default I\'m picking out a Thermos for you...

$20RB Tournament, Final Table

UTG (t150,000)
UTG+1 (t450,000)
MP (t90,000)
Button (t120,000)
SB/hero (t180,000)
BB (t275,000)

Blinds are 10K/20K, no ante

Reads: UTG+1 has been Tight & Straight-forward at the FT / has not been stealing to this point. BB is tight.

Preflop: Hero is in SB with TT
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to t40K, MP folds, Button folds, SB?

(Payouts~6.0K, 3.5K, 2.2K, 1.5K, 1.1K, 0.8K)

Min-raise UTG+1 from a tight, straightforward player? You been on the FT for a while - you BETTER have a read on whether or not he does it with AK or AQ...
or 99...

Tough decision, but I probably push and catch a Ten on the flop to beat his KK...

This is old school - from Steve Martin's "The Jerk", he was singing this song in the bathtub as his wife was leaving him.

We aren't deep enough to do anything but push in this situation. I couldn't find a fold.

Nobody wants to fold, and wait for shorter stacks to bust out / a better opportunity to get chips in than to take a 50/50 (which pays 10.5/9)?

I'm thinking this is certainly a case where $EV diverges from cEV - although I'm not sure by how much.

Depends on how lucky will the shortstacks get in the very near future.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
