Canadian Poker Tour event at Great Blue Heron.

I have been stealing liberally to stay in play throughout the final two tables, but blinds are extremely oppressive at the final table due to lots of stalling, thinking, and general tight play.

Stacks are as follows:

UTG: 90,000
UTG+1: 5,000
CO-1: 150,000
CO: 40,000
Me (Button): 70,000
SB: 60,000
BB: 110,000

Payouts are as follows:

1st: 23,500
2nd: 11,000
3rd: 5,800
4th: 3,800
5th: 2,700
6th: 1,200
7th: 1,200

I have 70,000 on the button. Folded to me, I have A /images/graemlins/heart.gif J /images/graemlins/heart.gif. Blinds are 5,000/10,000.

I am playing for 4th and up.
Action?

what can you possibly do besides push?

i think you pushed and ran into a bigger hand by BB and lost. but that's the breaks. nothing else you can do.

Of course.

The reason I posted it, is because of the potential gain of letting the shorter stacks bust out to move up vs. going for the gusto.

Where did you hear about this tour? I live in T.O. but don't go out to the casinos anymore (found some local clubs and hate the drive) - are there more events to come?

AJ shorthanded on the button you have no other move. you raise anything less than all-in and BB is coming over the top. all-in and you make the BB sweat. tough break

Minraise to 20,000, fold to an allin reraise, and be prepared to play for all my chips if minreraised.

If I get called preflop, I push any flop. This way, if the BB has high cards and misses I might get a fold out of him on the flop.

If I fold, this leaves me with 50,000 chips, 5x BB, and 4 more hands with which to try to make a move with a mid-suited connector or some other hand which, if called, isn't likely to be dominated.

Also a chance that 2 players may bust out in the next four hands (one will be playing his entire stack anyway two hands in a row).
