FT $22, 4 left
Blinds 80/160
sb (t1600)
bb (t540)
UTG (t9060)
Hero (Button) (t2300)
UTG raises to 560, Hero...? Why?
UTG is pretty solid and has been putting pressure on us on the bubble, but has not been outrageously aggressive, as I often would be in his position.
What do you do here? Fold? Call? Push? Why? Does your reasoning change if your goal is to get more firsts? Is it good for your overall ROI, but worse for your ITM, to go for first? I don't know, I just felt really uncomfortable with folding, calling, or pushing here and hoped for some input. Is pushing this hand even a good move if playing for first and is playing for first, with more bubble busts good for your bankroll? Confused.
BTW, I would guess the middle path would have been to just call and see what developed, but I'll give you a hint and say that this was not my line. Thanks for any replies.
