What would you do?
Five-player shorthanded turbo buy-in on PokerRoom, four players left.
I have approx. 500 left in chips and the blinds are at 100/200, I'm in BB so I have 300 left... I'm dealt 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and UTG raises to 400, button folds, SB folds. What do you do? |

Re: What would you do?
I call. You can only play 1 other hand, so I take this situation over a random one. If UTG has been aggressive, he could have an overcard and an undercard and I think you have a live chance. If he's been tighter, he has two overs or a pair. I think you call because of your stack position and hope you're facing the lesser of three evils--against one of which you're pretty even. Still, I hate this situation for it's general "i'm screwed"-ness. So yeah, to clarify, call and get lucky-flop a full house/straight flush if you can; that should do it.

Re: What would you do?
UTG had been playing very aggressive, he'd been attempting to steal blinds since the beginning of the tournament.

Call, and put your last 100 in on the flop, and pray that opponent folds, or you hit two pair/better.

Re: What would you do?
This might be the wrong play, but I guess if it was it will be a lesson.
I pushed with it, based on I was getting 2.3-1 on my remaining 300. I'm 60/40 with two overcards, and have a good hand to break a higher PP. Sadly, he flipped over 99 pretty much killing my hand, but I sucked out (something I'm not proud of) with a 7-J straight. Is this the wrong way to play this hand? I don't like just calling because this guy is aggressive and there's no reason not to call the flop since he'd be getting 10-1 on his money. |

Re: What would you do?
You call because he can't fold 99 now, but some random donk may fold on AKQ flop, which would be awesome for you, or even fold JT on K72 board.

Re: What would you do?
I see.
I really think with how aggressive this guy was, he'd call 100 on any flop with any two cards, not to mention he was chip leader about 3400. |

Re: What would you do?
I call. I either play a hand that looks pretty good. Or I can take my chances next hand with 2 random cards and less of an overlay in the pot.
Assuming of course that there aren't 2 players left with like 10 chips. |

Re: What would you do?
No choice, you have to push (that is, call, then push).
If everyone else had in the 3K range, you would do the same with 32o. |
