Default Re: Limit tournaments, question on stacking off?

I would like to know the suits here, but regardless, you're putting all your chips in this hand. Period. The small possibility of getting a better hand before the BB hits, only to win a considerably smaller pot than the one in front of you, does not justify giving up what's in the pot right now. With at least 1000 in the pot right now, and 250 more from at least one opponent, you're getting at least 5:1 to throw in the rest of your chips. Those are decent odds for your 88, but more importantly they're the best odds you're likely to get with a stack this small. Raise and win, and you're left with a somewhat playable stack. Fold now, catch miracle aces next hand against a single opponent, and you're still only 80% to win a $650 pot, leaving you in a position where you will still have to go all in with a marginal hand.
