Down to the final table of a live 85 player tourney. 7 left. I am the short stack in SB with 5500 after posting. Blinds 1000/2000, antes 200.
All fold to me in SB. I do the math....pot is 4400.
I have 3-8 suited.
BB is reasonable player from what I can tell. He has me covered, with approx. 11,000 chips.
By my math, if I push and he calls, I'm getting 7900/5500 or about 3/2 odds on what is likely not worse than a 60/40 shot. Plus, there is a slight chance he will fold.
I pushed. He thought about it and called w/ TJ.
Did I play this right?
I guess I have very slim folding equity here, as he's getting 3/1 on the call, nonetheless, with all that dead money out there, isn't this a routine play?
