Hey everyone. First time poster on SNG forum. UTG pushes small edges in this tourney, and BB average player. Its pretty late in two table tourney on stars. What do you think about this push on the turn? After I pushed, BB called time and waited 60 seconds before going all in himself. Thanks

Anybody? I thought it was a good move, but with straight and flush possibilities is this a bad push? Especially with the two already in?

Probably the only play, I think. You're likely to get paid off by chasers, and even if the made flush is out, you still have outs to pair the board.

bad call imo.

scary straight draws out.

A10, AJ already has you. a min raise is reasonable with those hands and a limp.

They coulda had KQ, KJ, J10 spades and got lucky on the turn.

I would have to lay it down here.

There are just too many possible hands that kill you.

I think I probably fold here. I posted a thread about a similar hand that got a reasonable amount of discussion. You can find it here. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&amp;Number=1021622&amp;page=3&amp;view=colla psed&amp;sb=5&amp;o=14&amp;fpart=1#1021622)

I don't think folding here is good at all. If you're behind, you've most likely got 10 outs, and are getting odds to chase them, closing the action.

Then again, if you're a catastrophist.. UTG must have KK, and BB has A /images/graemlins/spade.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and you're drawing dead. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
