Ok so here is my question, I had gotten down to 4 in a satellite. Blinds were 200/400 with 50 ante, I am in the SB, here is the stacks:
Player A: 2450
Player B: 2620
Jurollo: 13500
Player C: 12930
Ok I am in SB, Player C in BB, we are by far two top chip leaders and have both done our share of bullying. However, the short stacks were good players and took advantage of any opportunity to double up. Top 2 spots get a shot in the super sat. 3rd gets buy in back. Am I basically assured a spot in the Top 2 at this point? I wasn't 100% sure and then came this hand.
Player A folds, Player B Folds, I see AKo in the SB and raise to 1600. BB who has been tight aggressive preflop, calls for the remaining 1200. Not what I really wanted. Two big stacks rumbling here.
Flop: 6dAh6h
I bet 4000, he raises me all-in. At this point I have 5600 of my 13K invested and for 7K more I could win 25K, the only thing that makes me question this is that top 2 spots get the seat, but if i fold I am now vulnerable again.
At this point I KNOW he wouldn't have pushed soley on a flush draw, and my preflop raise essentially eliminates a 6. So the two hands I am looking at that would beat me is AA and 66. After weighing the options I... grimace... called leaving me with 600 left. Is this a proper call in this format, I know I basically had him pegged knowing he would NEED one of those 2 hands otherwise he had AQ,AJ,KK,QQ and I had him beat and in bad shape.
I took the stance that I was GUARANTEED to win if I take this pot and if not I can always play in another sat, but how often can you guarantee a seat? He flipped AdQd and the turn and river brought no help and I went on to win.
Is this seriously flawed in this format? If so what is my major malfunction? Thanks all.
