Had zero history with Villain pre the FT, but a quick search when it started showed that he's a HS'ish reg living in Mexicowh.

For ICM's sakes, payouts were:

6233
4567
3364
2539
1781
1401
1071

What you sayin'?

jamming it in his eye, pretty good spot to put pressure on you when your gona be isoing the presumed fish pretty wide.

edit : I would just complete pre too, just realised were in the sb so I dont really wana play 9s in a bloated pot OOP

Forgot to mention, I would say I felt I was significantly better than 3 of the remaining players. How much weight on my decision should this information have?

Sigh jam I guess. Feels kinda close though. On the other hand I can't imagine me folding tens.

It's pretty close, I guess I would fold but a jam can't be too bad; wouldn't jam 88 and would happily jam TT.

+1 to complete pre. a limp utg with 10bb would be setting alarm bells off immediately unless he has been doing a fair bit of this sort of stuff but its not mentioned in the OP

as played I guess I sigh fold, agree with TT+ AQs+

I was just typing this out till I realised that we're 3x'ing into a 10bb stack AND its gonna cost us nearly 30% of our stack to run him.  Not only that, he's limped a 10bb stack early position and we've raised to isolate, its not like were not going to have a hand here.  I thought this was a fist pump shove but on inspection I'm also in the 'its close' camp.  Having said that, I know I dont fold in game.

All hinges on whether limper has been limping a lot for me.

Probably just going '9 and a 9, lets spin' if he's limped more than once (and that's the reason we isod)

I'm the absence of that I think I'm probably gonna fold bit would happily jam TT as well,

Limper confirmed dolt, hence trying to gii with him.

Obviously though, if I know this, Shaun Quinn aka squinster certainly will too, hence the coffin spot.

I just wasn't sure at the time if risking getting into a flip at best with three perceived weaker players remaining was the 'correct' option to take. A point flushy made in Camels thread made me want to post this to see what the lads thought I should do.

didn't even realise the limper had 10bb. Seems like a fold now all things considered.

If limper has been limping lots we have to raise but we're still expecting action from him a decent amount, bb should know that and is raising us anyway

Fold because we have to have a strong hand to want to rcall va the limper

in game I fist pump rip it in, then wonder whether it was an ICM error after I lose!
