REvans84:
Standard shove imo.
Standard 3 bet consumes too many of your chips so you would be in on the flop anyway if called.
No point getting cute at this stage by calling. If he folds to your shove, you are still adding 25% to your stack.

biffa85:
Reraise to 90k, only 54k more so at least should get that from him or even a rereraise. Shove any flop blind and hope for a call, a double through should put you in command of the table as CL, and give you the ammunition to pick up even more chips heading for the FT.

Shove is too much IMO that means he"d need to put in 142k more, which will enable him to get away from a lot of hands, you don"t get aces enough to settle for a mere 63k at this stage.

Yes occasionally he"ll crack you aces, but still no reason to play scared, go for the extra chips.

;D

Down to the last 50 from 4000 of $10 MTT and been playing v tight due to being totally card dead and climbing the ladder. On this table only shown AA and KK in the last 30 hands both pushed when about 10 BB.

What is your action here?

Wow i really cocked that up. Not that bad I dont know what to do with aa.  Anyone want to comment on the hand I meant. Sorry!

mal666:
push or fold either is ok. dont like much else with the stacks as they are.

biffa85:
Still not keen on the push, too deeped stacked for that, but a raise is definately in order IMO, maybe stick with the original 90k raise and see what happens.

;D
