Harrington is Wrong Here?
Hand 9-11 pg. 188 in HOH2
Basically the situation breaks down like this:
Second day of a major tourney
Blinds: 600-1200
Antes: 75
Our Stack: 8200
Our Holding: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the BB
There are 2 stacks of more than 3500 and everyone else at our table has from 3500-13400 chips, mostly 7k-9k stacks.
One of the big stacks minraises, the SB (13400 chips) calls), the action is on us. What do you do?
He advocates calling and betting out if you hit. He cites the small stacks at the table and the 5-1 pot odds you are getting as the overriding factors.
I've gotten into several arguments about this hand and I really don't agree with it, but he is Harrington and I am nobody. Would you play the way he suggests?
