Sunday Million $4m gtd Hand

[Sack it off]

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5208349P

Really thought this was a tough spot and can't decide if my call was the right one. I've had mixed feedback.

I've only been at the table for 20 hands so I have no reads, over those 20 hands the SB is playing 11/8

for me, reasons for calling;
He is isolating wide alot of the time here, his range can be QK+ A8+ 66+ which I dominate a large proportion of.
There are 1600 players left
There is alot of short stacks shoving now and I would prefer to have a big stack to ride it out.
If I win the pot I go into the top 3.


Reasons for folding:
The BB's all in is >10BBs, does this imply that both ranges are tighter and the isolator may not ship it in so wide?
Do I really need to have a top 3 stack at this stage when I am still 60th out of 1600
I have plenty of chips to play with and is this a needless gamble?

Any thought would be appreciated

Did you tank call? If so justice for failed slowroll imo.

[NigDawG]

i'd call here and feel ok about it, you gave the guy a decent range and you just got coolered. ul

[Woodsey]

I'd fold, you are in a good position and don't need to get involved imo........

This seems reasonable, probs should be wider if co and sb have any idea. Therefore you have answered your own question as tens is the nuts in this spot.

i think with 1600 left its a call, the stacks will get so shallow soon you could do with plenty back up in the flips.

when you first asked me i wasnt so sure, but now im pretty sure its a call. If this guys a good player than gotta be expecting him to be isolating with a huge range of hands, probably any ace, 66+, KQo

pretty happy bout calling here, although it prolly is closer in the latter stages of the biggest Million ever surely alot of ppl were nitting it up alot. Still obv stack

[George2Loose]

Sigh the aim in mtt's is to win all the chips right?

What is the best way to win all the chips, by making the best play each hand. Not caring that you have a reasonable position in the tourney with a 1000 people left.

The way I'm thinking about it is I will find a better spot than this to get my chips in if I'm patient, but I can understand how your thinking, high risk/high reward. Maybe I'm too tight in tourneys these days..........

Andy look at the payout structures, all that matters is winning, cashing can bog off.
