Should I have moved in preflop?
OK, so here is the setup. I don't have the hand history, so this will have to do:
$10+1 MTT on FullTilt, 208 start, 27 get paid, 13 players are left. Blinds are 250/500 with an ante of 75. Villian1, who just took a big beat, moved in for his last 4,000 or so. Villian2 smooth calls from MP, Villian3 calls as well for about 1/3 of his stack from CO. Hero is in the SB and has A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Here are the read:
Villian1 could have anything. He is a good player, knows he is about to get blinded off and he's steaming.
Villian2 is the chip leader in the tourney. He has smooth called in a similar spot w/ KQs.
I have no read on Villian3. Given that he smooth called for such a large part of his stack, I think he has JJ or something like that.
Hero is 3rd in the tourney with about 28,000. Should Hero move in, flat call or pass?
Let's say that Hero smooth calls and the flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - what's my line?
Results to follow...
When I post the actual hands, you'll see that it really does present a mathimatical quandry.
