Default Re: when to limp late in tournament?

I fold 66 here because:

1. The risk of someone raising behind you is very big.
2. You will rarely get the implied odds you need to flop a set.
3. Hero's stack is a little too big to push with 66 here I think.

For example, say a player behind you raises to 3k and the limper in front of you calls. In this case it will only cost you 2k more to call a pot of 8.5k, so you'll probably make that call. Most likely you won't hit your set and will have to fold to any bet, leaving you at 12k instead of 15k.

If you do hit your set, you cant make a really big score anyway since your stack is rather short. This means you probably won't make up for all those times when you don't hit your set.

Save the bet instead. Every single chip is important as your stack size shrinks.
