All In With Great Odds But With Chip Lead
I am playing a 5 man $50 + 5 tourney. Start with $1000. With 4 left I am D and have $2100. Other players have $2,000, $550 and $350 respectively. Third place gets $50 back, second $75 and first $125. I am dealt A9o. EP with $2800 raises $200. I call, everyone else folds. Flop = A,9, 4. Based on past raising and reads, I am confident EP has bullets only. EP raises $200, I re-raise another $200, he goes all in. Knowing that I have the best hand by far, do I call his hand and risk finishing out of the money or suck one up till the short stacks get blinded out (blinds were at 60-120? As a side note, I called, and the two 4's that came on the turn and river gave his A4 a full house to beat my two pair...and I lost my $50. Is this simply a risk tolerance question, or is there a set strategy I should be using?
