Default 3.40 78s, is this just dumb?

Didnt have any reads except that i hadnt seen either do anything weird.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2355)
CO (t1965)
Button (t6615)
SB (t3050)
Hero (t1015)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls t200, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t100, <font color="red">Hero raises to t990 (All-in)</font>

I think you're too short to make this move.

I think it gets called most of the time too.

It doesnt seem dumb no... UTG would be crippled if he lost to u. Small blind is folding here almost all of the time if u push. So lots of money to be stolen. And even those time that UTG calls u, ure proberly not worse out than 40/60-ish

Ok move. But depending on how ur opponents play, u might consider checking. Most of the time i see nothing wrong with the push tho

I think it's our shortness that makes it ok, I probably wouldn't do it deeper. UTG will probably call and SB most likely won't, but with all the money already in the pot this looks like a fine place to gamble. If SB didn't call, I'd probably S&amp;G here.

I like it. With our stack it's time to make moves. UTG doesn't know what we have, and has to worry about SB, and SB could very well be completing with just about anything given the pot odds. We're close to doubling up if it works and if not...we were in trouble to begin with and we can fire up a new $3.40 and get on with our life.

This is horrible, people who are trying to justify it seem to forget the fact that this low, our opponents don't think.

Some dude limps utg and you push for a pretty small amount. I don't think we are getting him to fold very often!
