This one is gonna haunt me...I took a course of action on this hand I regret and am debating whether it was the right course of action or not
down to 4 tables in a PS limit tourney (two tables pay) and I've been coasting on fumes...getting a hand when I'm about 4-6 times the BB and doubling up for the next round...
Problem is this hand....I get AK - but it's popped and repopped before it gets to me (and I'm in middle position)
Given these facts....
A) - the action on this hand preflop
B) - my read on St. Patrick (first raiser) - was that he raised too much with too many hands (he was the big stack and chip leader for awhile
C) - The Blinds JUST went up, so I'm not gonna see a BB higher the 400 for the next 12 min...
what would you do in this situation....stats - odds - guesses are welcome - (remember, this is limit)
I'm omitting what I did and what the flop was to get the best possible analysis without seeing what came next....
opinions/suggestions are welcome -
