pokernuts07:
Always like to try and analise my exiting hands in live tourneys to see if I made the correct play. Views please on this one....
I have 6k left, average is about 10k and this is the last hand of blinds 300/600 (moving up to 400/800). In SB with tc 8h. 4 limpers before me so I call the 300, BB checks. Pot is 3600.
Flop is 5h ts 7c
I have 5400 left.....what"s the play here? I am 1st to act.
AMRN:
Firstly, I don"t like the limp/make up from the SB. You are setting yourself up to play with raggy cards out of position in a multi-way pot.... catch anything on the flop and you"re stuck..... and it seems that this is exactly what happened.
With 10xBB, and nobody showing any aggression preflop, I would prefer to shove here..... and if you don"t feel the right vibes for the shove, then fold. Don"t be fooled by the fact that you"re getting 11/1 to make up the blind.
As played (and without any other info on players) check/fold - you"ve no way of knowing if your top pair without a kicker is good. If someone bets and you have sufficient reads to put them on a steal with AK type hand, then shove to try and get to a HeadsUp showdown - you don"t want to end up in a multiway showdown here with such a marginal holding.
Shove or fold preflop though.

Hmm...
I shoved on the flop. Guy in late position took an age, then called my all-in. He had A 10.
Turn was a 6 giving me some more outs but river was blank.
Interesting views Steve and make sense. Not sure I can check/fold there though. Can"t bet/fold either but liking the pre-flop shove. Would probably of got through.
