Default Re: What do you think of this move I made on last hand of tourney.....

Should my lesson here be that pushing is a much better option than raising to $7K with my 78s? That's what I'm seeing anyway.

Yes, with this small of a stack in relation to the blinds, you are pot committed if you raise anyway, so you should just push. If villain will let you limp in, this is a good hand to limp in with. Unfortunately, limping usually means weakness and an aggressive villain will jump all over you regardless of their cards. Really, this stage is one big luck fest unless one of the parties folds too much or does not push often enough. The blinds are 8.6% off all the chips in play, you are probably right to push any two from the sb, at least until villain loosens up his calling standards.
