Huge blinds, a couple of limpers and 56s
Stars $3 Sat to $500k guaranteed. 80 left, 25 get a seat.
Blinds are 1500/3000/a100, Hero and villains have ~t35k. Neither villain has done anything out of the ordinary. Villain 1 (UTG+1): Limp, folded to Villain 2 (CO): Limp, folded to Hero in the SB, who has 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero sees two live cards, and a 1/3 of his stack in the middle and... No matter what I go broke here, so my quesiton is more how I go about doing so. |

Re: Huge blinds, a couple of limpers and 56s
Well I don't think either villain is folding here for one more big bet and it's doubtful you'll get better pot value in the next orbit before you post and are allin without getting to pick the hand you move with. Might as well take a shot with something that's got decent equity against high cards getting nearly 4:1 and push. The only thing you don't want to see villain holding are overpairs and that doesn't seem likely with 2 limpers.

Clarification: We all have t30k, not t3k. About 10BB, and there is almost 4BB in the middle.

Re: Huge blinds, a couple of limpers and 56s
Sorry, saw you said you are in the SB and 1/3 of your stack is in the middle already. That would lead me to think your stack is 4500 before posting the SB and you have 3k behind. With a good read on the villains in this hand I may still push hoping to pickup the limped blinds from players who have most to lose by calling but I wouldn't fault a fold here either. With so few players remaining and equal payouts to 25 spots I like to pick my spots wisely. You also need to steal to keep ahead of the blind levels. I couldn't fault either decision depending on how the villains and the rest of the table has been playing.

Re: Huge blinds, a couple of limpers and 56s
Fold. You don't have the stack size to put in extra blinds hoping to get lucky. Secondly, when you do get lucky your stack is way too small to reap the benefits. An all-in raise might work, depends on your oppoenents and if you think they can call a big raise. I'd probably just fold, but a raise could be right.

Re: Huge blinds, a couple of limpers and 56s
I would just call. I think a push is not horrible but I wonder how much fe you have with this kind of push in this kind of tournament.
It seems you should also be less likely to push given payout structure. Survival is key and you still have enough of a stack to try and find a real hand. In a satellite, I think it is more beneficial (at least I think so) to steal when nobody has shown any interest in a pot since they are less likely to get involved than in a freezeout. Edit to say that is not to say resteals are not important but I try to resteal against one aggressive raiser. Not sure if that is best policy or my personal preference based on my experience of success if that makes sense. |
