Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG has Qh 7d (two pair, sevens and sixes).
Hero has Ts Th (two pair, tens and sixes).
BB has Qc As (one pair, sixes).
Outcome: Hero wins t6700. </font>
My thoughts:
First, this was from one of those $7+1 PPM IV mini-satellites (1st and 2nd get a buyin to a 26+2 SNG which then pays out an entry to one of the semi-finals. 3rd gets $14). Just an FYI.
I felt pretty sure that UTG was just pushing with a halfway decent hand because he was short and facing t600 in blinds. I pushed to get the BB to fold, figuring that the last thing he wanted was to finish 4th (which he would if he AND UTG busted out this hand or if he just lost to me).
By "halfway decent" I mean that I figure UTG has one overcard to my 10s.
Questions:
1) Is that an okay move (assuming like I did that UTG has 1 overcard), pushing with TT where I have the other guy covered by about 2:1, and if I lose will put me about on par with the other two?
2) How bad is the BB's play, pushing with AQo after I'd already pushed? His relative position doesn't change if he folds. Either I have T1400 and UTG has T3600 (and he has T1855) or I have T6700 and he's locked into 3rd or better with his T1855.
Feel free to abuse me at will. I'm very new to the whole SNG thing (at least in a serious sense), and I'm thick skinned enough to handle it.
