Yesterday I played in a 50+5 B&M NLHE Freezeout - 26 of 66 players remained with top 7 getting paid. Avg stack was t7600 and the blinds were at t600/300, I had t3300 left after the blinds passed me by. With my only 5.5BBs in front of me I needed to make a move or get cards quick. I had a tight image, playing only 1-2 hands per orbit. So I'm thinking that if I get a chance to go all-in over a couple of limpers I'll take my chance.
Here's the hand-
SB posts 300, BB posts 600, utg folds, utg+1 calls, folds to MP2 who calls, folds to hero on button with 87o who raises to t3300 all-in (betting t3300 to win t2100).
My thinking is that I have to make a move soon, utg+1 and MP2 have not shown strength, if I get called by a hand like AJ or A9s then at least I'll have 2 live cards, and if I get called by a small PP then I'm coin-flipping. Plus, this is the last orbit I'll have any folding equity with my all-in raise as next orbit I'll be down to t2400 with blinds at 400/800 (3xBB).
Like the play or hate the play?
