Down to the last 120 odd out of 2500 in the 35k gtd on stars when this happened
Avg chips about 125k approx
Havent got much info on GRB sorry.
I was wondering if most people would have pushed preflop against that stack or played the same, or reraised more? I know you have to get a good stack to final in these thats why I chose against the push, but in these donkathons is it worth just pushing and taking the 30k in the middle? He may have still called who knows, or would you have played the hand differently alltogether
If I won it would have taken me into top 10.
I rarely play on Stars in these donkathons thats why Im asking if a push preflop is the norm
Thx
