How I busted in a 2+2 SNG yesterday
Few on us on IRC played a 10/1, this has the hand that knocked me out- your thoughts?
I read MP1 for an underpair, so I figured it was a coinflip. Felt like I committed myself with a less than fantastic hand when some good players had position on me. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) converter saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font> BB (t1100) UTG (t465) UTG+1 (t1085) <font color="C00000">MP1 (t740)</font> <font color="C00000">Hero (t650)</font> CO (t1760) Button (t1075) SB (t1125) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Push pre-flop. This is one of the hands in which, as Sklansky puts it, "a reraise makes you want to throw-up." You can't bet less than t250, and that bet is such a big chunk of your stack that it prevents you from folding to a re-raise. This leaves you with the choice of a fold or a push.

I agree with sam, with less than 10x BB if you are going to play the hand, especially with a limper, you push.
