monix 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 We are down to 7 handed. Two orbits previously I was 4th with about 18,000 chips when I raised AQs UTG+1. The short stack on the button went all in, and I called; he has AK, and I double him up.After the blinds pass, I am 7th by a large amount. I get back to 9,000 after picking up the blinds twice by going all-in from the button with K5o, and two hands later with A3o.Now this is an FCP tourney, so no hand history (one of my many peeves with the site), so I'll try and reconstruct the hand as best as possible:Blinds 2000/1000 (no ante)UTG(Hero) 9,000UTG+1 25,000MP 45,000CO 35,000Button 20,000SB 20,000BB 18,000I am dealt a real hand, TT, and I was really torn. My M is still only 3, so I'd like to double up. With my recent stealing, I may induce a call with an all-in, but the table has been pretty tight. Raising 3 x the BB is a third of my stack and I may get more than 1 caller from UTG, so I might as well go all in...thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
gobears 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I was at the table and your play was fine (pushing is the only option with an M of 3 and a hand as strong as pocket tens)Table had been playing tight as well as many pushes weren't being called - and you probably noticed that.

timwakefield 69 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The big blind is 2000 here right? If anybody is calling a raise from you, they're calling an all-in too. Link to post Share on other sites

tskillz187 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 You have to go all in here. If you are pushing your crap hands you have to push your good ones too or else it'll be a huge signal you are big. Link to post Share on other sites
