fold.

And raise to 275. It keeps the pot smaller, and consequently, makes your c-bets smaller.

Pot control is very important late game, as you wanna keep, at the very least, on par with the shortest stack.

And if you dare fold this without raising this preflop, Im going to call you a weak-tight girl from now. Folding is inexcusable.

If he's TAG or reasonably so, fold like a litte girl.

If the blinds fold, .......80% fold, 10% push and 10%

At the end of a long session I might resort to name calling. j/k!

Thanks, Myst. This is all easy and fundamental stuff I know really well but I'm in the middle of a pretty huge downswing and doubting myself now at every turn.

I disagree. Raising to t275 shows weakness 90 % of the time (and strength the other 10 %) and is a very easy "tell" to pick up on.

Raising to less than 3xBB here is bad, IMO. Especially if you get a couple callers next thing you know the pot odds are irresistable to the BB.

The extra t25 chips aren't going to mean that much in your tournament standing however the psychological difference is monumental.
