Stars 10+1 Rebuy 20k Guaranteed. I was just moved to the table so I had no reads.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t4000 (9 handed) converter Button (t48260) SB (t62228) BB (t274599) UTG (t103313) UTG+1 (t60194) MP1 (t43342) Hero (t14660) MP3 (t53518) CO (t89215) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t8000</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t14460</font>, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls t6460. Flop: (t30320) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> Turn: (t30320) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> River: (t30320) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> Final Pot: t30320 UTG shows Kc Qs (two pair, kings and sixes). Hero shows 8c 8s (two pair, eights and sixes). Outcome: UTG wins t30320. Was pushing the right play here? I had about 4x the BB and I figured pushing with at worst a 53/47 and possibly a 70/30 was better than most likely going through the blinds then going all in before the next blinds with less chips. I ended up getting 69th. I believe the next payout increase was around 60, but I don't really care about an extra $20, rather double through and make an attempt at high places than get $20 more. -aesic |

with your small stack, you had to do something. he has to call, so you could more than double up here. your hand is by no means a monster, but with blinds coming, may be your best shot.
cheers! |

I would prefer a chance to open raise so that I have at least a little folding equity, but with 4x, you can't get picky. There's not a snowball's chance in hell you are mucking 88 there, so all in it is.
