I don't play turbos, but I like this play a lot.

All of these players are contending for the money. They know that they all stand in decent position and don't need to take a risk that would end this tournament for a couple hundred in the pot.

If you raised 500-600, you wouldn't fully be threating their tournament life.

I think you made the right play considering the amount you will pick up if no one calls as well as the odds you have if you run into and AJ caller.

If someone calls with a higher pair, oh well, onto the next. But, considering the chips you are picking up here, I think it is a +EV play in the long run and will move you into a much higher standing in this tourny.

I am a huge fan of this play.
