Despite fast structure tournament playing fairly "normally" ... all in pushes not looked up except with strong hands.

I am currently middle of the pack.

Fairly awful looking spot!!  Obv this is normally an insta-fold but w/ an m of 3.7ish Im prob putting it in here and hoping for the best.  If there wer under 20 in the field then it seems like you cud prob find a fold but w/ 30 there is still some work to do.  With so many short stacks, its likely u will get multiple callers wen u open, and the fact tht ur stack means u have to open shove ne reasonable hands means QQ is v likely to b ur best spot.

Still.........ugly spot!

Swinebag:
a VERY reluctant call based on the structure.

agree with this.

Also, you will probably lose the main pot but are most often favourite in the side pot, so you"ll be back to square one in most instances, massive chippy in a few and out in a few more in the ratio at a guess of 50% : 20% : 30 %

wot did he ave ace 4 ?

LongshanksED:
Horrible spot.

Your probay up against at least an AK and a AQ and probably 2 players hold under pairs but a good chance of KK or AA in one of them. I take it is a super turbo type tourney with 1min blinds?

If i"m not in the BB then I"m folding. At best I"m putting myself on no more than 25% to 35% chance to win but even with the odds to call I don"t think I can do it.

Even in this fast structure you have a couple of more hands to play. Ven though you have an M of 3.5 or so (withbtge blinds going up fast) your opponnts are in the same position as you
