(1/6) > >>

BOINGBLITZ:
Final Table for a $200 seat for the Ladbrokes Forum Tourney at DTD on Nov 22nd. There are 2 seats available plus cash for 3rd and 4th and there are 9 players left.
I am chip-leader with approx 17k and my oppo is 2nd with approx 15k.
 On button, I call for 900 to make it 1800 with

kd   qc

Oppo raises in BB to 4200 so for 2400 more, I call as i think he could see my limp as an opportunity to make a move on me AND that I will have position on him post-flop.

Flop comes down

....and he pushes all-in.

What would you do ??

I will post the answer tomorrow

 

Paulie_D:
It"s difficult to see any scenario where you aren"t favourite to win this hand unless he flopped the flush but that seems unlikely as he"d be Jack-high.

Play for the win...call.

conversely, I would be folding here. If it were a straight forward MTT, I would consider taking the gamble, but in a satellite where I am ahead of the average chip stack, I would not take the risk - no need.

That said though, I don"t think I would be in this situation..... I wouldn"t open-limp on the buttom with KQ. As chip leader, I would either fold as there"s no need to play the hand (with the game being a satellite), or I would raise big (to indicate I"m not going away). The Big Blind then needs a hand on which he"s willing to stake his entire tourney - his range should be two hands only there.

agreed. no need to play this pre-flop since your the chip leader. will be many more blind-stealing opportunities where you can steadily build your stack with no risk, which is what its all about in sats.

if i were to hazard a guess i think you called he showed a set of jacks and u hit the nuts?
