Low limit on-line MTT.
I have T7,100. The blinds are 500-1000. No antes. 9 players on the table. I'm on the cutoff with K2o. According to Harrington, my M is 4.75 so I'm in the top part of the red zone. The BB has T24,000 and the SB has T18,000. While they are not very loose, they can afford to gamble. Question # 1: Is it better to move all-in here because there are only 3 players left behind me, or should I wait one more round and make a move then in a similar situation assuming that I loose the blinds and don't pick up a better hand ? Question # 2: Lets say I fold in Question # 1. I pick up KQs UTG+1. There is one fold before me, but now there are 10 players on the table, 8 players behind me. Should I move all-in now ? Did I position myself to a better situation than with the K2o ? Question # 3: Lets say I steal the blinds in Question # 1. Now my M is 5.75, no longer in the red zone but will get there again in two hands. I pick up the same KQs UTG+1. Should I now make a standard raise of 2-3 BB and leave myself with an exit in case of a re-raise, or perhaps I should move all-in or fold ? Thanks in advance for your input. |

#1, probably go all in.
#2 and #3 for sure I would go all in. edit: just to clarify my reasoning... For #2 and #3, whether you have an M of 4 or 6, that's still pretty low. And KQs is simply too powerful to pass up. You've also got first in vigorish (as Harrington likes to call it). In #1, your K-high isn't wonderful, but you've got a decent amount of folding equity. Unless I felt there was an unusually high chance of getting called by the blinds, I'd probably push. |

Here is a great discussion of the KQ question. The K2 from the CO depends on your image and the players on the blinds. Assuming you are 40% against anyone who calls (generous) they will have to fold ~50% of the time (collectively: the three of them) to make this positive. If you've been playing tight you can push here. |
