Hand Near The Bubble

I almost certainly make it 7k and insta call when he shoves (u r 100% commited). F/c"n here at this stage is poor as ur opponent can fold a wider range 2ur 3-bet pre, and u wana b keeping the pressure on. Most online tournies have a very top-heavy prize structure and there is little value in scraping into the $. Put the pressure back on him and try and get urself into a good spot to tid imo.
As played...shove flop

Im agreeing, with multiple callers its going to be nearly impossible to play this hand after the flop. So the choice is fold to the money or put maximum pressure on your opponents. If this was a $5 game im gonna play fearlessly and push preflop. Shove this flop is ok.

Pre flop I"d have raised to try and isolate just one player. Then could evaluate once flop is dealt
in a multiway pot I"m not sure were we are now.

On another note - if safff is 3betting a wide % and flats here I think we can discount him having a big hand!

If we isolate against the original raiser - there is no real room for re-evaluation as he only started the hand w/ 14.5k ish. Its hard to put soo mcuh in and give up on it.

I definitely re-raise pre here. I bet more than enough to make it look like a squeeze, and then snap off anyone who goes over the top.

IMO, the 3750 "feeler" bet into a pot of around 7800 with 4 players still in indicates to me that he"s either gonna shove or fold this hand if / when he meets resistance. And unfortunately you don"t have enough chips behind to raise > fold.
- booze we kinda have to discount from this hand (other two are more of a worry as they"ve shown more strength)
- Sevenphhh has raised UTG so you have to give credit for a strong playable hand, and possible check>raise
- saffff has bet out in a 4 way pot so again, you have to give at least a little credit for a strong playable hand
With the blind levels as they are, and although you are last to act, you are in a bad position here - ldo. Shoving is not a terrible play if you think saffff"s weak and stealing as it"s likely you could add 50% to your stack without showdown as his
