Down to Final 3 of Steps tourney, Naj has 5x BB, SB has 2x BB left after posting, Bully has 17x in BB. Final two players advance.
On the button, Naj gets [Ks Qh]
What's your action here?
Raise? SB is playing 18% of his hands to this point.
All-in?
Call? Fold?
Am I an idiot for not folding here? If I fold here, and have to fold my SB and BB I will be down to 3.5x BB and SB assuming he shoves and doubles up will be at 4x BB, and BB hits me before him. I cannot just blind my way into final two.
I pushed all-in, figuring BB would fold and SB would fold, though if he called that'd be fine.
SB folds, and BB calls with T9o. Last time I shoved I had A5s and he called with T2s, and he doubled me from 2.5x BB to 5x BB.
All babies until river which is of course a Ten. IGHN.
Should I just raise the BB there? Fold? Call and fold when I miss?
I'm not used to these 'winner-take-all' type decision making. Help! /images/graemlins/confused.gif
