Re: Party Poker MTT - How would you play it?
I ended up min raising it (my standard raise would have been to make it 1200 to go from 400 BB) and pushing any non-Ace flop.
I got 7 callers to my min-raise, and the BB came along of course getting 13-1 on his money and closing the action. Flop was 2/3/3 and BB had J/3 and stacked me out of the tournament.
In hindsight, the min-raise was the worst possible idea. I either needed to push (probably a bad idea as all I get was the blinds and it was unorthodox for me so screamed big pair want to double up), or what I think was the best idea would have been a limp/re-raise which I really like in this position.
As it turns out, button had AK suited and would have definately raised if it was limped around to him. and I could have isolated with a reraise all-in to headsup and taken down a nice 15K pot.
Live and learn... the fine line between "extracting value" and screwing yourself over.
