Is THIS A Good GigaMove?

[Degen]

Other post on this jogged my memory on this hand. I talked this one over with some regular posters at Rio and they seemed to think this was a bad application. I sill like it...


$125 BI Winner Take All STT at Rio, couple days ago.

Blinds 25-50, Everybody starts with t1000

(stack sizes are approximated)
Eight players left, these are the people in the hand.

Seat 1 t2600
Seat 4 t775
Seat 5 t575
Seat 8 t750

Hero is SB and Seat 1 with 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG+1 Raises to 400 (standard opening raise in this game), Seat 5 pushes for another 175, seat 8 pushes for ANOTHER 175, hero pushes.




My thought process:

If I win this pot, it is 5 handed and I have half the chips in play with 4 shorties. Gave over. Give me the $1120 first prize.

If I fold here, I have a good amount of chips but there will be another big stack at the table with me, and most likely 6-7 players left.

If I call and lose, I still have well over average at t1800.
