Default A lesson in why you should not go against a big stack

From PS 180 (I placed 9th yesterday). This hand did not involve me, but involved two big stacks middle of tourney (I think both were top 7 or so at the time among chip leaders).

My view is that as a big stack, I'd rather attack small stacks - but others can disagree of course.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter

MP3 (t8489)
CO (t18543)
Button (t16179)
SB (t16919)
BB (t7741)
Hero (t8510)
UTG+1 (t18355)
MP1 (t22739)
MP2 (t16710)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Outcome: CO wins t35362. </font>
