AJ - what's the play?
lukybugur:
That"s Leigh's thinking too - it"s a Satellite (an $11 Double Shootout that we"re now both very experienced in playing) and he"s recommending a "survive at all costs" strategy.

I'm with the shove or fold PF group (almost) ;)
The PF raise was always likely to put you in a terrible spot. With one third of your stack committed you are almost forced to play this out for the rest of your chips.
Would you have raised from this spot with trash to steal the blinds?... if you had and faced a re-raise the fold would have been easier to make but you'd still be kicking yourself for committing a third of your stack to a blind steal.
As you played it I'd get my chips in and start praying :P
Although I would 80% of the time subscribe to the shove or fold PF opinion I would occasionally limp with this hand.
To clarify if I'm limping here it's cause I plan on calling any all in or coming over the top of any raise.. If I've decided that this is the hand I'm willing to push with then there is the opportunity to look weak and have someone re-raise with a wide range or conversely the table may consider the limp a bit trappy and you get to see a flop that (player / reads dependant) to can get away from or jam.
Not sure if that make any sense but I'm just never keen on having two options to a hand. (still that could explain a few things :"( :-[ )
Zanshin:
Argggg why is it any time I post in a hand analysis thread there are alway 4 or more posts inbetween me starting my post and making it.....
I type to slow .... or think to slow.... please don"t guess which ;)
lukybugur:
Think too slow prob. My hindsight thinking on this hand is very similar to yours Derek. I"m not sure if that"s a good thing or not ;)
