any suggestions???

[booder]

sorry , i dont understand.you have 1 1/2 big blinds and you have jacks.you want to wait for a better hand ?

[amcgrath1uk]

i was also on the button. I could have waited another 6 or so hands.. and being a speed mtt I might well have got onto final table.

[booder]

the blinds were going up in 1 minute leaving you with virtually 1 big blind.any bet you make is likely to get multiple callers.

[amcgrath1uk]

that what I thought. Just making sure!!! Thanks for the input

Not a great deal to analyse, the tourny has turned into a total crapshoot, as most of them do and you HAVE to ship it in with this and hope for the best....this time it was plain ul.
