Default Re: Final Table; WPT Qualifier

Well, there are three plays you could plausibly make here.
1) Push, which is a very stong move, eliminating positional concerns, as well as the possibility of taking the pot down right there.
2) Put in a raise, weaker move which is likely not to take down the pot and will lead to positional problems later.
3) Call (at this point you're getting more than 5 to 1 odds) and take a cheap flop. Bet hard (possible all in) if you hit and check-fold if you don't.

While aggressive players (where aggression normally wins the pot) would argue number one, I would hate to see you move in on a pot like this where you are getting great odds and run into a coin flip and lose. Therefore, my vote is to call and see a cheap flop, not putting your whole tournament stake on a possible coinflip.
