Playing a £50 tournament, 20 players left and I'm short stacked on 6k with the blinds at 400/800 + 100.

I'm in the small blind and it's folding towards me so I'm ready to pretend I look at my cards before shoving.

Unfortunately the button (20k+) who I know as quite a solid player raises to 4k so I have to have a proper look.

I find A8o and make an agonised fold. A10+ I definitely shove but I couldn't find the heart here even though it's not that much worse.

Should I just shove here anyway? Can I really be behind his range given that he's raised so much on the button? Am I better to wait for the next time a hand folds to me and shove atc with my fold equity?

He showed btw so I can give you the answer afterwards.

?

Was shoving atc if it folded to me but didn't want to do it blind. Was obviously looking but pretending that what I saw actually makes any difference.

ah lol


I fold btw, you still have FE wait till you can take the blinds.

I'd fold too.

It's a close one but probably me too. An all in wouldn't be wrong here...but can push at every opportunity next round...
