Hypothetical short stack decision late in tourney...

[crookedhat99]

And back to the question...I would definetly not go all in after an UTG raise with ace9. So if my only other option is to go all-in blind the next hand then I will do it. BUT I like the idea of checking your cards once you're UTG and if they're goodies go all-in and if not wait until the BB to go all-in with absolutely anything as the pot will be bigger with the limpers so not only do you have more folding equity but you also have good pot odds if anyone calls because of the limp infested pot. If you assume that one person will call you're all in in each scenario (UTG blind or BB blind) and let's say their are 3 limpers (including the sb) in the BB scenario. You're getting around 2:1 pot odds (not sure if pot-odds is the right term for when you're raising but i think...but anyways 2 dollars in the pot for everyone 1 you put in the pot after the 1 guy calls you're all in) In the UTG scenario you're getting only around 1.2:1, and in each scenario you have the same chance of winning the hand (random hand vs. hand good enough to call your raise with). I know the question is either blindly UTG or with ace9 facing a raise...but I think that answer is awfully obvious, and I'm just presenting another potential way to try and solve the problem.

P.S. check my math

P.S.S. Now that I think about it, in the BB scenario the caller of the all-in probably has a worse hand than the caller of the UTG scenario because he's factoring in HIS pot odds as well, which makes the BB idea sound even more promising.
