If you are going to call an all in, why not just move the big blind all in yourself? That's the only question I have.

yeah, i agree with the first poster. i think that your choices should be to complete, push, or fold.

personally, i've become a big fan of completing and then betting any flop.

Played well the entire tourney. I felt unsure of how I played this hand. I usually dont complete from the SB when its folded to me. Maybe I should start doing more of that. I think a push was better than a raise. With the amount that the BB had left I was going to call any reraise here. Would have given me more fold equity.

Your basically raising enough that if the BB pushed you have to call pot odds wise 2.49/1.

So basically Complete or push. I like complete and betting half the pot or 3/4 on the flop.
