What do you think of this move I made on last hand of tourney......
HU last week at my NL game, third hand in against young, new guy playing there for the first time...
Chips are about 19,000 (me) and 26,000 (him) roughly.
Blinds at 1000/2000.
With button, I look down at 7h8h and raise to $7000 total.
After about 10 seconds, he says "All in".
I put him on a moderate hand, but I'm still in a mini-jam. I will most assuredly be behind when I call this, which I plan on doing. 78 suited stacks up pretty good against most hands.
I go into tank and think "What do I have for options here? 2nd place takes $100 (net $50) and 1st place takes $300 (net $250) so I'm basically flipping a coin for 1st and I'll most likely be behind pre-flop.
Then I get an idea...I think about it for a minute and decide to give it a try.
I say "OK, here are your choices. A: We chop this $200/$200 or B: I am going to call you. Take your pick."
After digesting this, he decides to chop.
Although inconsequential, we run the cards and I flop a 7 that holds up. If you'd like to guess his hand, I'll post it in white-------> <font color="white"> Q T off</font>
My question is, was this a good move or a stupid move? Would it be +EV? Ever heard of any similar variations of this?
