Its a Party 30+3
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>
<font color="#C00000">MP2 (t1195)</font>
CO (t940)
Button (t1405)
SB (t1470)
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t1655)</font>
UTG (t290)
MP1 (t1045)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t200, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1655 (All-In)</font>
So, what was I thinking? I have all three players covered and if they have a hand worth playing they ought to be raising or pushing here. They are risking their tournament to make the call. The 500 chips puts me at 1.5X the next stack. The table had been abnormally tight. I put both limpers on pairs between 44-66 or bad aces. The limper seemed to really enjoy leaking chips by completing blinds with garbage. I pushed this expecting three folds; it works surprisingly frequently when I haven't destroyred my table image yet with my 96o pushes. Any thoughts?
