Was I priced in?

15 man home game tourney-5 per table

Blinds 25/50
pokergods111 $425 in chips

Ok just to give a little idea. I was running the table pretty much winning with aggression. A player who I knew played pretty well was moved to the left of me. I was small blind and I raised $150 making it $200. The guy to the left of me bet enough to put me all-in. I folded. Now my question is was I priced in by already having pretty much half of my chips in the pot and should I have called?

Thanks in advabce for any input.

Your cards would help but push preflop.

[pokergods111]

So your suggesting that I should have made the move? Is that correct?

What he's saying is that if you were willing to put half your stack in on a raise, you should have just pushed the whole thing, rather than being put to a decision where you might have to fold a hand with half your stack already in the pot. Exactly what happened to you.

He's saying your original post didnt say what cards you had.

But getting laid 3/1, you have to call with any hand you were willing to bet 1/2 your stack with on your initial raise.

The others are correct.

If you will bet $200, you should just bet it all.

Also, how do you expect advice when you don't post your actual hand?

Jesus Christ. I didnt even realize I left out one very important detail. My hand was 9c8c. Sorry about that.

Go all in. Or fold. There's no other options with that hand.

you're running over the table, yet have t425 with blinds t25/t50?

It's very possible they started with a smaller starting stack than what we are used to online and blinds at 1/2 or 5/10. The lack of information here does make it difficult to give advice though... I'd suggest the OP give more info like stack sizes of relevant players in the hand, positions, how far along the tournament is (how many left vs. how many paid) and tournament structure.

I guess it seemed like at the time, I was running over the table. But we all started with t300 so I guess I wasnt up that much. The blinds increased every 15 minutes. This hand was about 7 minutes into the 8th lever and there were about 9 people left. The fella to my left who raised me all-in had the biggest stack at the table with probably around t750 to t800. If I remember corretly I was about 2nd or third in chips at the table and we were 4 handed at the time. The gentleman did later tell me what he had which is why I figured I made a mistake. He had been at the table for about 5 or 6 hands. I hope this is all of the information that I left out. If anything more is needed please let me know.

Blind structure was as such:
1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8 break. 5/10, 10/20, 15/30, 25/50
I dont believe there was a 20/40.

Payout:
5th- $20
4th- $20
3th- $40
2nd- $60
1st- $160

I had been running over the table early on but by this point i had lost a few hands which brought my chip stack down a bit. But i did still have control when i was in a hand. Except for this one with this guy. Sorry if i sounded arrogant.
