lol, sry, I don't know when the PVS questions will end.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t2845)
UTG (t1060)
MP1 (t660)
MP2 (t1000)
CO (t2040)
Button (t1115)
SB (t1280)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t100, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1800</font>

the 3 other players involved in the pot have 10-13 BB. With my strong chip lead I figure that most +cEV players are +$EV, which isn't true for the 3 involved in the pot which works to my advantage.

I don't like this, because it is a 50. And someone with 33/A4 WILL call you. Maybe in a higher level, but I like this move with any ace or any pair only.

Ask yourself this: you have a big chip lead. Do you need this pot?

I don't like this simply because UTG is one of the limpers.

[Nottom]

I don't think its awful, it might even be slightly +EV. But I also think it looks way too much like a steal and you are going to get called a lot.

I think that this is a good rule of thumb for PVS in general, but I'm not sure if it applies here. I don't "need" these 400 chips but then again I have such a large stack that I don't "need" the 1,000 that I'm risking to steal them, which I think makes this situation unique.

[durron597]

That sentence was only one part of my post. That combined with the second is why I don't like the push.

Huge risk for very little reward for your stack.

WWGD? (i.e. What would Gigabet do?)

[hobbes9324]

Well......
It'll probably work, but I'm not sure I go along with your statement that you don't "need" the $1000 you're putting in on this play - if you get called and lose, you're now pretty much back even with two other players - if you were holding something a bit stronger, maybe - but I'd wait for a better spot.

But then, I'm just a donk.....

Raise to 250 - check/call the flop - lead out on the turn?

[ilya]

Why raise so much? I think you can put just as much pressure on your opponents by raising to 500-600.

[The Yugoslavian]

That raise seems to be on the part of the raise spectrum that encourages action b/c it's so fishy looking. Why not raise like 1/2 of everyone's stack to commit them....I like t400-t600 better than t1800.
