good or bad decision - Palms $230 tourney
blinds are 25-50.
I've got a stack of 1850 after a rebuy, so I'm actually down $250 at this point; villain has a similar stack. I limp with 88 UTG, the player three seats to my right raises it to $240, and it's folded around to me. In the hour or so we've been playing, I have the villain pegged as a pretty solid player who is capable of some moves, and also capable of making a big laydown. I decide to represent an AA limp-reraise and make it $600 to go. After a long deliberation, he calls. The flop come 257 rainbow. I've got $1200 left...because I've put the villain on two big broadway cards, I feel that if I push, it may lead him to suspect I have the same - and I don't want that, obviously. So I continue with my play of representing AA and bet $800 into the $1325 pot... He deliberates a long time and folds. I obviously made the right read and play at the right time. I made a read and acted on my instincts, and it worked out - but my main question is, was it really worth it to risk my whole tournament on a play like this so early? I'm going back and forth on this one, trying to figure out if I made the proper tournament decision or if I made a stupid move and got lucky. What do you think? |
