Re: Super Tuesday Final Table Hand vs. Chip Leader
You were a 7-3 dog not a 3-1 dog. The push was fine. You had pot odds and FE.
Rather than saying I have ATo I can't fold it, you should be looking at whether the hand is useful to you in this situation. I play a lot of supersatllites and I fold good hands and push with junk all the time.
Raising 2.75xBB into the big stacks' blinds seems strange. Did you consider pusing or limping?
12xBB is a difficult stack to play without antes. Also, I don't mind playing a little tight and move up while some shorter stacks bust.
I don't think ATo is that great a hand that I mind folding it that much. Pushing preflop may be slightly chip EV+, but I would fold and wait for a better opportunity.
