Hi,
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com Hero (t3520) UTG (t1690) MP (t1810) CO (t6470) Button (t2930) SB (t3580) Preflop: Hero is BB with 8c, 8d. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls t400. Flop: (t1300) 5d, 7c, 9d <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero bets [t2920] , UTG calls [t1090] . Final Pot: t1300 I'm very unsure about my play here. Opponent played 30% of his hands and raised 16% over only 30 hands. I called because i thought there are some flops where i can be pretty confident that i am ahead. I made this donk flop bet because i thought it may look like a bluff to him and he may call wide because he has only 5bb left. What would you do preflop, is this a push/fold decision? What about the postflop play? |

UTG pot commits himself with this raise, so either push or fold pf, i'd shove because we are normally way ahead of an UTG raise (or push) from a shortstack.

Good hand - I find these situations tough too.
I don't see how we're "way ahead" of UTG's range. I think at best we're up against two overcards and often it's a higher pair, for exactly the reason empyrium mentioned - UTG is committed after his raise. I think UTG pushes any lower pairs to increase his FE. With Hero's stack, I fold - no need to race here. |

Definitely no need to race here. If UTG had 2000 chips or more, and had been active, I probably resteal here, since he isn't getting better than 2:1, though I usually fold since we're not close to bubble.
