Party Poker $20+2 No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t920)</font>
<font color="#C00000">UTG (t1485)</font>
Button (t4405)
SB (t1190)
Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1485 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t720 (All-In).
I'm interested to hear if anyone thinks I should have folded this hand on the bubble.
Things I considered:
BB had been playing quite tightly, I'd only seen him showdown AK and AQs and he'd won a few hands where everyone had folded after he'd pushed. His push frequency had increased latly and he'd pushed the hand before also.
Being 4xBB himself he could be on a steal.
I was worried if I fold this hand I only have 720 left and zero fold equity.
Should I just blind away here and hope to make the money?
The position and size of the big stack is annoying because I can't steal from him and was scared of stealing through him.
What else should I be considering?
Should I just have pushed from UTG the previous hand with what I had. T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif? (or even any other 2?)
Thanks.
