Long tourney and the blinds are 200/400
Button (me) 3000
SB 7500
BB 3000
I have: K /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif
I have the BB outclassed and he is very very tight. SB is a solid aggressive player.
I open for 1200 (3X BB)
SB raises to 2,000
BB Folds
I Call
Flop is rags. He bets 400. I am guessing A,x no pair. I push the rest in an pray. Rags off and I lose. He had A, rag and won with a high card.
Here is the question - what do you do preflop? Too good of hand to lay down but to raise puts your whole stack at risk.
I think that maybe pushing in was best? Maybe limp, (which I never do late in a tourney)? Maybe fold as the BB was bound to eventually lose?
