This happened yesterday in the daily 500+40 (highly reccomended) Bellagio Tourney
Blinds 100-200 Average stack ~3000 (started with 2000)
Hero ~t4,000
Villain 1 ~t5000
Villain 2 ~t1350
Read on Villain 1 is that he is a semi-skilled loose agressive player who values draws too much and plays too many suited aces and PP's...but is fairly good at the game, seems like he's just having a good time.
Read on Villain 2 is that he is pretty solid, though he just got destroyed in the last pot and lost ~75% of his stack.
Hero is UTG with K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif K /images/graemlins/heart.gif
I tried to raise to t700 but apparently one of my t100 chips fell behind the betting line and I was only allowed to make it t600 to go.
Villain 1 is two positions after me and smooth calls.
Villain 2 is 3 positions later and pushes for 750 more.
HERE IS THE QUESTION:
WHAT DO I DO??
Do i push and risk driving Villain 1 out of the pot or do I smooth call and let him also call and try double through him.
I was thinking there was a decent chance Villain 2 had AA but there was also a decent shot he'd beat me by the river...i'm thinking I want to call this, let Villain 1 in and then get more from him after the flop (if it is a favorable board of coarse) thereby reducing the damage done if i am beat by Villain 2.
