Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Button (t1935)
SB (t4290)
Hero (t1775)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif. Button is all-in, SB completes, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t2335) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t2335) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t2335) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t2335

I'm having problems w/ the converter but Button showed Ax and SB K10. Of course this is an insta-call, right?

Yes it's a terrible fold, sorry to say. When it gets to the final 3 you often need to eschew 2nd place in order to go for first, as first place is 3x 2nd place. Your hand is an absolute powerhouse here.

Thanks Curtains, this is an excellent point. I normally play for first. I'm not sure what I was thinking but as soon as I clicked fold I was disgusted w/ myself.

I agree with all of this except the 3x part.

First place is 4x 3rd place, and 2x 2nd, no?

Not once you are already ITM. Everyone is guarenteed 2 Buyins.

First gets an additional 3, 2nd gets an additional 1.
