Time to gamble?
 

Stars $30 rebuy satellite for WSOP. 2 thru 13 get $650, 14th $40. 16th player busts just as this hand is dealt. I am major short stack. Next stack at other table is 11k. Reads unimportant. Is this it, or should I wait and hope for a miracle hand? I've been a major shorty since shortly after the rebuy period ended. At this point, I'd be happy to get the $650 and call it a night.

yes, gl

maybe as good as its going to get, don't like it, but w/ 1.25 BB's got to (hopefully) flip the coin.

Re: Time to gamble?
 

Its not even that much, only 1BB. There's no sense in waiting for the BB to get all-in. Its 4 hands and you'll lose an extra 1200 just getting to that point on antes. If you want to sneak into the $, this is your best opportunity, unfortuantely.

Re: Time to gamble?
 

Clear fold IMO. The reason is that the BB is definitely coming along in addition to MP2, and 66 is a horrible hand multiway, since one of them will likely pair.

Re: Time to gamble?
 

whats your plan then? fold until you get to the BB w/ .5BBs? so you can possibly double up w/ a random hand to 1BB (maybe triple to 1.5BB), pay the SB.....

Re: Time to gamble?
 

Fold, click "Post Blinds and Fold", and pray you don't get anted out before the other shorties.

I would rather go allin with K7o in earlier position and hope to go HU with the BB.

Re: Time to gamble?
 

are you serious? he's all-in on his BB in 4 hands. he has 4k and the next shortest stack has 11k.

your all-in is less than a call. you think you won't get 20 calls behind you? at least here you have a pair and you already had 2 folds in front of you.
