A few things to note: this is a home tourney, the 3rd in a series of 10 tournaments leading up to a "championship" round later in the year. Top 3 pays, and each player earns points based on their finish. Only the top point earners over the series gets a spot in the championship round.
OK, that said:
4 players left. I am one of two micro-stacks (about 4x the BB). The other micro-stack is a brand new player (complete with cheat sheet of hand rankings). She has a slightly smaller stack than me, and would be blinded out first. The two big stacks are about equal in size at about 30x the BB.
I'm in the BB, and dealt A /images/graemlins/spade.gifT /images/graemlins/spade.gif. Big stack 1 calls, Big stack 2 calls, micro-stack 2 folds in the SB. Hero checks (good, bad?).
Flop K /images/graemlins/heart.gif9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
Given my bubble status, the necessity of gaining points to qualify for the bigger tournament at the end of the year, and the stack sizes of the other players, is this a check-fold situation? Or should this be an insta-push?
