Title: Standard? Post by: Newmanseye on May 30, 2008, 01:02:35 AM I want to know if I overplayed my hand given the blinds & position, advice & critical assessment appreciated.
Playing live this evening in a £35 buy in tourney. Average stack is 16,000 blinds are 400 / 800 28 people left in. We are in late position when middle position moves all in for 9000, now this player has moved in once per orbit for the last 4 rounds, all night they have been fairly tight aggressive but given his stack he has been in push fold mode. Folds round to us with AQ o/s and a 21,000 stack with 3 left to play whats our move? only 1 of the 3 left to play has a bigger stack than ours at 28,000 Reraise all in to isolate, pass or flat call?

Id normally isolate with your stack, with 40k i prolly flat as it takes a huge hand to repop us now and the risk rward relationship is more skewed. Remember we are looking to win this caboosh, so gamble, ship in AQ and get Jacks to fold so you can be 70/30 v AX!!!!!!

I was pretty sure a jam to isolate was the right play, I just needed some assurance i was not being a total donkey! Figures a reraise by the next guy with AK put me in my place ( on my arse out of the tourney ! ) |
