Tourney Hand....
Late in live tourney, 6 left, top 4 get paid.
UTG: weak, tight player. limps with many hands, he's laid down to a raise often. SB: Me BB: Solid player. I am 2nd stack with 28K, UTG is short stack (10K), BB has 14K (middle). There is one other big stack (35K) and two other small/medium stacks (12-15K). Blinds are 1K/2K, $100 ante. UTG limps. Folded to me in SB. I have AJ suited. I raise to 6K. BB reraises all in 14K. UTG folds. $22,600 in pot, $8K for me to call. Getting almost 3 to 1 on call. I think the pot odds say call here, but if I lose, I'm down to 18K (instead of 26K) and am back in the mix with the other short/medium stacks. If I win, I have 48K and am the big stack. One of those tough ones where the pot odds say yes (unless he has AA I have a shot) but maybe the stack situation says fold. Appreciate your thougths...... |

Re: Tourney Hand....
I think this is a call.
Presumably the BB knows that you know that UTG is weak tight. Thus he knows that you could be on a steal, and your hand need not be that strong. This in turn broadens his range of reraising hands. As he is laying you 3-1, he must expect you to call, and thus you can be sure his hand is not trash, but he could be doing it on 66+, KQ+, AT+. Also, folding to the reraise would not be good for your image. |

Re: Tourney Hand....
easy call. you're probably better than 50/50 to be ahead (unless you've been super tight about raising), and with the ridiculous pot odds there's no way you can fold.

Re: Tourney Hand....
Yep, I called. He fliped over AKo. I got two spades on the flop but never got there on my flush. Hurt my stack and put me back with the pack, but I agree I made the right call. Just tough to give up those chips. On the good side, I went on to win the tourney, my first big tourney win. Thanks for the input, just wanted to make sure.....
Good luck. |
