Live Sat. Hand

[Big O]

I was at the casino playing 10-person Satalite tourney and had the following hand

Im in the SB with , blinds are 25/25 and we all have about T1000. UTG raises min, gets 5 callers. I push to pickup the pot. UTG pushes in his chips very fast. I think to myself, I am way behind, something like AK or JJ+.

He turns over AJo. I say to myself why would he take a chance with a hand like this. Well, I lose the hand and get eliminate on the next hand. Would anyone call an all in with AJ?

What hand did you have again?

[Big O]

Well, I guess the big question is, would anyone put the tourney on the line with AJo?

I had ATs BTW

[JDO]

Nope.

Nor would I push all my chips in with ATs, risking my tourney life, to pick up 200 chips. Especially when there has already been a raise in front of me.

It doesn't matter what he has, it matters what you had. It's too early to assume they are all tight players who will fold anything bout AA-QQ/AK.

Anyway, IMHO that pot was too small for you to risk your whole tourney on preflop.

Thanks for the advice. It was a lessoned learned. I still feel he made a bad call with that hand. Maybe we were both wrong on the moves

Yeah.. I think you got it right there.

Unless I know different, I like to assume I'm better than the guy next to me, so I don't think about what I would do in a situation (fold AJo to an all in). I am ready to expect the unexpected.

I personally have never attempted at steal against multiple limpers. Now that I think about it, I rarely steal against any limpers. Maybe I need to work on that a little, but for that pot size.. actually, I'm not gonna tell you because you already learned it on your own.
