$11: <10xBB, 55
Given t200 in dead chips (if I assume the limpers fold), does anybody push here with the intention of racing/hoping for FE? This was the first hand of level 4.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) converter MP2 (t835) CO (t1015) Button (t1255) SB (t1083) Hero (t720) UTG (t1550) UTG+1 (t957) MP1 (t585) Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t100, MP2 calls t100, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t200</font>, Hero ??? |

Re: $11: <10xBB, 55
I used to make plays like this all the time about a year ago. I have stopped doing this, but I don't know why really.
Assuming both limpers will fold and the SB will always call. A quick ICM calculation says you need to be about 42.6% against his range to be breakeven with folding. However, sometimes the limpers will call and sometimes the SB will fold. I think 55 is close to 43% against his range. However, I generally fold this. |

It's be pretty damn rare that I'd push this, but I wouldn't hate a call, depends on the limpers.

Re: $11: <10xBB, 55
As for why a call isn't too bad despite being for 1/6th your stack, well, folding you have t620 and are in the SB next hand anyway. If it was a passive table, a fold is better here, because you'll get it folded to your SB more often, and obviously t570 is more likely to garner a fold than t470. But the latter should still be enough most times. Neither are particularly wonderful situations, but that extra t100 isn't going to help you a great deal, as a double up from t470 still puts you on about 10BB, whereas t570 you get the awkward stack size of 11-12BB ish.

Re: $11: <10xBB, 55
with two limpers and a raiser on 10+1, I can't imagine you getting all 3 to fold.
with 55 all-in, the best you can do is to be racing against two overcards, and you're a big dog to a bigger pair. wait for something better, and you'll probably get paid off anyway. |
