UTG raise and a call? You don't have much of a chance. Also, with that kind of raise, UTG could be on his way out, which is another good reason to let it go. t25 is a small price to pay for courtside seats to this hand.

uhhh, you're not a wuss. That was the correct play- even if 2 7's flopped. Pushing would have sucked.

I agree, with the amount of chips that you had, there is no sense putting your self in future harms way. No if you would have flopped quads or a set, I'd prolly go hang myself but in your situation its all good. Any result for this specific tourney? Hopefully you made the money

I have no idea why you wanted to push. Please explain, I'm confused.

Maybe he had a hot date.

Anyway this is a call or fold situation, with folding my choice, because even if you hit a set (unless you can somehow stack UTG+1) you won't get paid off enough, as it's more than 10% of UTG's stack (even if it's less than 10% of yours)

Fold.

You are getting about 6.5 to 1 on this call (assuming you can get UTG all in on the flop). You need a set to win. A set comes once every 8 times you call. The odds don't add up and you have enough chips to last a while and its only early. No desprate play is needed. A push would just be terrible.
