The blinds are moving up next hand, but I still have to fold this right? It was just the last decent hand I saw before I got blinded down to 300 chips and I want to make sure I'm not just being too tight. There are way too many people behind me, right? Things worked out for the better in this one, but I want to make sure I'm not going nuts in the wee hours of the night.


30+3 SNG
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t420)
UTG (t1105)
Hero (t510)
MP1 (t645)
MP2 (t2860)
CO (t1555)
Button (t355)
SB (t550)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.

1 fold, Hero???

I think this is close to a push. Blinds are going up, you are gonna be down to T300 in a couple hands. May be the best hand you see til it's too late to do anyhting....

I think this is really, really close between pushing and folding.

The main reason that I like folding here is that, as you say, with so many people left to act the chances are that you'll be up against multiple players and I don't like this hand all-in against 2+ others.

The main reason I like pushing here is that your stack is still just big enough so that if you push and hit (again, likey you'll be up against 2+ others), you will be back in contention.

As Harrington says, every tourney has a couple hands where you have to get lucky. This is not a bad hand to try and get lucky with, although it's obviously not your ideal.

AAAHHHHH, my equivocating helps no one.

It's very close, but I say push and take your lumps.

I limp and hope BB shoves.
A8s isn't a great hand to be limp/calling a push with but I'll take my chances.
