Short-stack all-in
This hand I wasn't sure about, and may have been tilting after a series of suckouts by the chip leader.
Party Poker Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind t100 (5 handed)
Button (t6075)
SB (t102)
BB (t755)
Hero (t170)
MP (t898)
I don't think the hand results are all that important (I lost), but I'm wondering about going all-in in the first place.
As it turns out, three players went out this same hand. SB was down to 105 and called with an Ace. BB had QTs and went out with QQ on the board when he was out-kicked. If I had folded I would have backed into 3rd place. I figured if I didn't go all in with a hand that at least had straight and flush draw capabilities, I was all-in next hand anyway from the BB.
Given that one other player is severely short-stacked and two others are one hand from elimination, would you play 87s UG or pray for a better hand in your blind?
