Do you guys ever make calls when you don't have odds at like, mid-tournament, in order to take your big stack to a dominating stack at the table?
Example:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
UTG (t2760)
UTG+1 (t900)
UTG+2 (t2228)
MP1 (t115)
MP2 (t1705)
MP3 (t2382)
CO (t1398)
Button (t3055)
SB (t1520)
Hero (t3227)
Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls t115, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t65.
edit: the converter screwed this up. the guy in MP1 went allin for 115. so the pot on the flop/turn is actually like 350 or so.
Flop: (t255) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP3 checks.
Turn: (t255) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets t450</font>, Hero calls t450.
River: (t1155) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP3 checks.
Final Pot: t1155
My turn call is obviously bad strictly in terms of pot odds. But my thinking is that at this point in the tournament, losing 400 chips will not affect my stack a great deal (from 3k to 2.6k with blinds at 25/50), whereas potentially adding around 1000, possibly more (if he calls me on the river after I hit), could give me a dominant stack over the table, and allow me to run over it.
Is this FPS? This is just an example, but I'll often do things like this during mid-tournament to try to accumulate. Is this spewing?
