BandM Tournament, 97 starters, eight-handed final table
135,000 chips in play
Blinds: 2000/4000
Hero is UTG+1 with 20,000 holding 88.
Please consider the following;
UTG folds and Hero KNOWS that (following a raise) play will definitely be folded to the blinds.
Small blind is a Weak/Loose Agressive player with 18,000 and will not be afraid to call an all-in raie or to re-raise an early position raiser if he finds a strong ace.
Big blind has 21,000, is a TAG player, and recently had an encounter with the hero.
In the recent encounter: TAG is UTG (blinds 1000/2000) and raises to 4000. Hero is in MP+1, holding AKs with 12,500 in chips, re-raises to 10,000 (should this have been an all-in raise?). TAG folds (claiming to have held a mid-size pocket pair).
Should the Hero, at the final table, raise the 88?
If so, to what amount?
Further information/reads - Big Blind looks weak, however is capable of re-raising without a hand.
Small blind is yet to look at his cards.
