Paddy Power Charity Open, 2000 player shootout, made it to final day 40 player MMT. Starting 15,000 (100/200 1/2 hours blinds) Just over 1 hour in, stack 22,000 blinds 300/600 Hero UTG with   raise it to makes it 2150, folded round to villian on button who makes it 6000 (of 15,000 stack) Up to now hero has represented a strong player, villian also strong, only played half a dozen hands, all in LP and always raising 3-3.5x Opinions? |

He can't realistically fold now and your way ahead of his range,easy shove.
Decent players 3 bet utg raises very wide these days.

I know it may seem an obvious shove to many. Just wanted to see what people say.
I had represented myself as a very strong player thus far and when i raise UTG he knows i have a very strong hand so what was going through my head was "Why would he commit himself as there's no way he is folding here" i was puting him on a small range

I think this depends a bit on the standard of the other players in the tournament. The nature of the event was likely to attract a very weak field and I would assume that some of these players made it through to the final day. If this was the case, I don't think a fold is very bad.

Yeah, there were weak players to begin but the tourney was play 1st table, top 2 go through, play 2nd table only 1st goes through to final day.
So there was few bad players in final, still 2 or 3 never the less.

Was no crap shoot. There was prob 3 bad players per table in the final but outwith them poker in the final was of a good standard

Any way i was just checking.
I raised him all in, he called after about 2 mins (to my delight) and he had JJ
knocked him out and finished 7th

blinds 300/600 Hero UTG with raise it to makes it 2150 why? as played shove No one else appears to have picked up on this... raise less pre. 1500-1800 is probably about right. |

MMmm, so you think 2.5 x big blind raise was too big?
