Too Tight?
So here's a hand for you guys and I'm wondering if I played too tightly PF on this one.
Single Table Live Tourney: Blinds now were t150-t300 (rough estimates... I didn't ask a chip count) Button ~t3000 (tight PF, aggressive postflop but likes to bluff a lot) SB ~t5000 (very tight PF, good tourney player) BB ~t3000 Hero is BB and is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Button raises to 700 SB Raises to 2000 BB folds We all three play together a lot and each of us knows how the other plays. My other friend who busted out of the tourney in about 5th or 6th out of 9 told me that this play was way too tight PF and that I should have gone all-in 3-handed. I'll post my rationale after I hear some feedback.

Re: Too Tight?
I think folding here is good. It is likely that the SB either has you dominated or coinflipping. There always the slight chance of AT or A9 depending on how tight the SB is. Given the button could also have a real hand and I am not super short stacked, I fold and hope to get my chips when I can be the aggressor. I am assuming this is a standard sng payout scheme. If it only paid out first I would have to think about it a bit more.

Re: Too Tight?
good fold, let them go at it and you're second with a decent chance at winning... if you push you are flipping about 30% of the time, dominated about 50% of the time, and ahead about 20%, IMO

Re: Too Tight?
3 for 3 in favor so far. Looks good enough for me.
I've been thinking that people's opinion on this matter is a good indicator of how loose/tight you play. You fold, you are tight, you play or go all in, you are loose. IMO anyways. My actual thinking was since there were only 3 left and the 1500 raise was the majority of Button's stack. Since there was a chance that I was dominated already or behind to a pair, that I should go ahead and fold. That was reinforced when I considered that Button would for sure at least call the bet since I knew he liked his hand somewhat and will usually call a reraise PF with a hand he has already shown strength with. The flop came Axx then two blanks and they both checked it down. Button had QJs SB had KK I would have won, but my fold PF was actually the right move.
