Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t425</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t1275

Big stack has been aggressive and small stack is trying to fold into the money. Now if I play the waiting game I guess its 3rd or maybe 2nd place. Since big stack is aggressive I think he doesn't have to have a good hand here. I though about pushing but thought it was risky. Even if I had the better hand I was probably not a big favorite. I thought if I just call and hit my A or K then I'll play it. If not I will let it go and still be in good shape to make the $$.

Final Pot: t2410


Small stack doubles up and now its getting interesting. With big stack pushing people aroiund I thought I could get in there first. He hasn't shown any fishy tendencies by calling off chips so I thought he was just a good player using his stack when appropriate. I really didn't expect a call here. I was also worried about playing too passive with a small stack hanging around. He was not so small anymore and one more double up by him and the game gets even more difficult.

Comments anyone?
