Title: What to do
Post by: Newportlad on December 05, 2005, 08:30:46 PM
After some advice please.

Im in MTT $5 rebuy, and there are 28 players left. Pays down to 20th. Im currently in  4th place with 38K in chips.  blinds 500 - 1000. 
I get dealt  Ah Kh in mid position.  I caller in front of me.  I raise to 4K, and its gets re-raised to 20K by the (slight) chip leader.

What should i have done?

No, the money isnt important, just pointing out that its near the money in the tourney

your not in and stack problem and at this stage you dont really want to be going against someone that can knock you out in a 50/50 so i would fold

Thanks for the replies.

I did fold the hand, as i thought i could wait for a better opportunity than a coinflip.

BTW: In the end i finished a disapointing 13th

It was a good pass. (Always harder to do when they're the same pretty colour.)

13th pays more than 28th :D

Not sure that this is as easy a fold as everyone is saying. It has to be very dependent on how the other guy is playing, if he's reraised a few times before I think this is an easy call. In a vacuum with no info whatsoever I'm still erring towards calling. why has he pumped it up to 20K? Maybe if he's got AA or KK his raise will be a bit smaller?

Its still a 50/50 race situation unless you are sure he doesn't ahve a pair though
