I've pretty much coasted through this tourney to make the final 20.
My big hands held up, and I never had to suck out to stay alive. I wish all tournies went like this. Then the cards dried up.
With 20 people left, I'm in around 6th-8th in chips. No cards for a while and suddenly there's 13 left, and I'm 11th. The two below me in chips were just barely below me. Its not like they each had 1K and were close to busting. I had 20K, last two had 16K each (both at my table). I needed to win a hand and soon.
Blinds are 3K 6K. I'm UTG with only 20K remaining in chips. Were 7-handed at my table. I get KQo and decide to push. I don't have enough chips to make a raise and fold if I miss or if someone pushes over the top of me. I have only 3X the BB left and I'm the BB next hand.
Is this just a pretty much automatic push?
Well, BB called with AK, and I'm out in 13th. oh well.
Thanks for any/all feedback.
