Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
SB (t1580)
Hero (t3115)
UTG (t790)
Button (t2515)
Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t200, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t2515 (All-In)</font>, SB folds, Hero folds, UTG calls t590 (All-In).
UTG is a loose player, so there's no chance he'd fold here. Button has been playing fairly tight and usuallt raises to 2.5xBB. He has not gone all-in before. His large overbet looks like he wants to get heads up with the small stack.
I could just fold this and slide into the money. I could take a gamble and push all in here too. If I win, i'll take a easy first place. If not, i'll probably get third. Presuming our late game skills are identical, what's the smart play here?
presuming the button had just called or min-raised, should I push all in here?
Results:
<font color="white">I fold. Button knocks UTG. I eventually knock out button for first.
