Shove pre flop please.
As played shove the flop
This flop against this player i check call in an attempt to get free cards/control pot, leavin us room to get away if he checks behind which is prolly a Kx/Qx... Ax is more then likely popping back pre.
to me; flop all in is saying "i missed" look me up
He called verrry light so i doubt there"s anything you can do on flop differently to get away from him other then opening with a fold!!!!!
i might consider to gamble is if there are 2 or 3 all ins already ahead of me and i have a hand like 67 78 89 TJ maybe the odd 1 gapper like 79 J9 and i will gamble to triple quadruple up.
Another spot i might consider to gamble is if there are 2 or 3 all ins already ahead of me and i have a hand like 67 78 89 TJ maybe the odd 1 gapper like 79 J9 and i will gamble to triple quadruple up.[I wont call KQ AQ 55 88 etc type hands here as they are most likely dominated]

Is this actually a +EV play? I agree that you do need to take risks as a shorty in order to chip-up but I"m not convinced that this is a good spot for it. Yes, hands like suited connectors play well in multi-way pots but generally when you can get in for cheap. Lets assume 3 all-ins in front of you, this should lay you pot-odds of something in the region of 3:1 (It will be slightly better than this due to what was already in the pot from blinds/antes). Even if we give all 3 villains a loose shoving range of 22+ AJ+ I suspect you won"t be getting the requisite 25% equity (I"m at work so don"t have pokerstove but will check this when I get home). In reality the ranges are generally going to be tighter than this (especially from 2nd and 3rd all-ins) so I don"t understand how you gain from this play? You have no fold equity (obviously), are risking your tournament life and are putting money into the pot in a -EV situation.
I agree with everything else youn said 110%
No doubt I"ll get home now and pokerstove will make me look a fool :-p

I"m relatively new to tourneys, just playing one a week to dip my toe in he water, so would appreciate any advice as to what I did wrong here, or might have done later. Normally I"m a 6max LHE player.
Online tourney, 16 players left of 66, 10 paid. Blinds are 100/200. I have about 1,800 in chips and am UTG.
I am dealt :as: jh - I come in for 500. (Should I have pushed all-in at this stage? -
was this a LHE torny (you don"t actually say)? If so, can u push all-in from utg ? Surely you raised the max (200 + blinds = 500, so now 800 in the pot) so no real fold equity to anyone with a decent stack + half decent cards. Beats me why villain didn"t rr to 1600 to try to isolate you.
Am i wrong, i don"t play limit
