Been a regular viewer for a while but haven't had the guts to post frankly. Still learning the game and don't want to embarass myself lol.
Anyway I've been playing online for a year or so and played my first live games in a casino recently. I got to the final table the last time I played, had roughly 8000 in chips with the blinds at 500 and 1000. Chip leader had about 30000 so I guess the average would've been around 15-20000 by this stage.
In the second hand of the final table I was BB and it folded round to the dealer button who raised all-in for nearly 9000. I looked down at
I probably should have thought about it longer than the ten seconds I did before calling but I quickly went all-in and ended up busting out of the tourney when the dealer button's
held up.
Analysing the hand I've convinced myself that I made a correct call. I had played against the guy at an earlier table and knew he was capable of a steal. I don't think he would've went all-in with aces or kings so I would've been getting reasonable pot odds, I believe, with two overcards. Had I doubled up there was more chance of cashing overall too, even winning the thing!
I do have this gnawing doubt that I should have folded and at least got some more experience of a final table however.
What I would like to know is what would a pro have done, or the many more enthusiasts on here who are far better and more experienced than me? Cheers
