I have been coming in 4th way too much.
Im usually the first to take chances in this spot,
but the blinds get so high I feel its often worth it.
Anyways after making the following play I analyzed it
and came with a different conclusion:
4 handed. 3 short stacks around 1200 (Im short), Big stack has 4K+ in BB, Im in SB..
Fold to me, I have JT with 300blind..
I push..
Now after analying in detail, Im obviously
in the worse position on the table...I need
to push frequently, but will get called more
than other 2 shorts since Bigstack will never act before me (except when Im in BB)...
So Im gonna get called a higher % of times than
other 2 players...So no doubt this tournament
Ill finish 4th more than 25% of time here.
In hindsight, Id be much better off waiting till
on the button or UTG for a few reasons.
#1) Big stack has less to protect and will call less.
#2) Ill punish other small stacks by raising them.
#3) smaller stacks dont have luxury to call with many hands.
Correct logic?
If you do fold and have 1000T left, would you
raise any 2 on button next hand?
