a step 5 hand
This is a step 5 hand (2-table, top 4 pay) my buddy played wihle I watched. I thought it was interesting. Villain has seemed to be somewhat tight. He has not gotten our attention much at least. Is it +$EV to push here? He folded because, well, he really just wanted ITM. What do you think?

Re: a step 5 hand
you can't possibly be saying that you have no read at all on your villain. that's just ridiculous. at least give us some clue. what range of hands can we put the guy on? has he folded to a push over his raise previously? i mean come on, anything?

Re: a step 5 hand
He was not at our first table. The last table went pretty quickly. During the final table he raised once from the button when folded to. He called a 1K's all in stack (CO) from the button with ATs when he had 3K and lost to aces. Other than that, he made a couple trivial all in calls from the BB when super-shortstacks were all in.
Conclusion: He hadn't been out of line, and appears to be somewhat tight, as I originally said. |

Re: a step 5 hand
I didn't play this tournament, so I didnt watch during the first table.
