Debate over hand

[dagat]

I know this isnt the place to post tournament hands, however most of the better poker players post here, so i wanted some insightful feedback....

But basically.

Final table, it's 3 handed. chip leader has 470K, you have 210K and other guy has 160K

Blinds are 15k/30k.

You're on the button with KQs. Would you raise or go all in?

Chip leader is aggressive. minimal read on SB.


The likely answer is going all in, but im trying to make a case that raising isn't necessarily a bad play either on what kind of a read you have on chip leader.

This post is at the wrong forum. I don't see you getting many replies before a mod removes it.

For me it depends who's the BB. If the small stack is the BB, I push. If not, I think I'd raise to about 90k. If the short stack pushes & the big stack folds, I'd call. If the short stack pushes & the big stack calls, you're priced in, but I might find the fold button if there's a big prize difference between 2nd & 3rd place.

Whether this is optimal, or not, I don't know.

push em in

I see a couple of people saying to push, with no exceptions. I think pushing when the big stack is the BB is particularly bad if there is a significant (to the OP) difference in prize money between 2nd & 3rd place. If you're called, you're most likely behind. If you're not called, then you overbet your hand and a bet of about 90k would have accomplished the same goal.

Why does everyone like to push here in the case where the big stack is the BB?

Maybe this is the wrong audience for this question, not sure.

all-in

its totally your default play.

Raise to 60k because that's all I know how to do.
