It was tough to get to be first in on a pot in good position in this $55.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t995)
UTG (t877)
MP (t1037)
Button (t4301)
SB (t2790)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t500) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks.

Turn: (t500) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
HERO is ALL IN for 775

The gutshot draw had absolutely no influence on me.

if you wanted it i would have pushed PF. the guy is more likely to fold then than after you give him a chance to hit a hand.

I like it unless you have a read that UTG is either a very good player or a very bad one

I definitly would not push pf

I want this pot. I'm certainly pushing the turn at the very least.

I disagree, I don't think you have much FE PF with someone who open limps UTG for 1/4 their stack.

Unless Villain is a solid player for whom the open limp looks like hes trying to grab action with a monster push seems fine to me. His play seems donkish and he has shown no strength grab the chips.

He's in worse shape than you are. His call shows strength or desperation. Either way I don't think he can fold in that spot.

He folded.

Also, not that it matters to anyone else but me, I won the tourney.

a far far out sort of semi bluff...

I like it also, pushing the flop seems to obvious, the turn is better, now you can represent the 6 as well as the 5.
