I'm having difficulties in this situation. It's Level 3 or 4 and I haven't yet had a playable hand. I'm not certain when to push, when to fold, etc. Here are 2 recent hands from the same tournament. The first hand I folded (level 3). The second hand I went all-in. Any comments would be appreciated.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)
MP2 (t1092)
CO (t580)
Hero (t595)
SB (t1590)
BB (t1990)
UTG (t1305)
MP1 (t848)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t100</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t100, CO folds, Hero folds, SB folds, BB folds.
Flop: (t275) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG bets t125</font>, MP2 folds.
Final Pot: t400
I didn't push because I had two people enter the pot. I wasn't afraid of one hand, but didn't want to battle two hands. I could have called, but 100 chips is a lot when you are this low.
