Default Re: Simple Common Tournament Situation

Hi David,

Push. The blinds represent almost 30% of your stack, which will be valuable dead money if you get called by someone other than the blinds. If you try to wait for a better spot, you'll likely end up calling off your money to someone who's raised in front of you, with a lesser stack to boot. At least in this spot, there's some chance you can take it down without a fight. Your stack is critically low, and you'll need to double up a couple of times, regardless. Might as well start with 1100, rather than 800.

Finally, you might very well find yourself forced to call all-in next hand, with something worse than QJs. To avoid making this worse bet, make this semi-bad bet now.
