12 left in a £13k prizepool comp
money starts at 9
550,000 in play
You have 56,000
to your left is chip leader 120,000, there are 3-4 stacks shorter than you at this point plus many in the range 50-80.
UTG with
, blinds are 2,000-4,000
raise to 12,000 six handed
pass to BB, with 48,000 total
he raises all in
36,000 back to you, pot 36,000+ 26,000= 62,000 or 1.7 to 1 to call
only 8,000 back if you lose, into BB next hand so this is in effect for your tournament
the bb is 77dave, who is capable of a re-steal but knows I am unlikely to be mucking around much
His range of hands to me includes the obv ones I am dominated by with AA/KK/QQ/AK plus JJ, 1010, 99 maybe AQ, maybe lower pairs
so the range of hands to me suggests some caution, as I would weight towards the first grouping and JJ I suppose
but the odds to call suggest gambling and certainly dictate a call if I am up against any pair lower than QQ,
In addition I am at 10x bb if I pass with my ability to steal cramped by being OOP with a LAG chip leader
the potential 100,000 stack if I win would/should lead to a high finish
Given all that I called, after some mental wrestling.
I am not concerned for the purposes of this thread what he had. Its the thought process up to this point that concerns me please
