How do you play this hand

[Blade]

Early stages of a MTT, you've been quite lucky last few hands and are now chip leader on the table and the tournament. Blinds are 25/50 Stacks: UTG - 1655.00 EP1 - 5330.00 EP2 - 3325.00 MP1 - 1570.00 MP2 - 1100.00 MP3 - 2425.00 CO - 1255.00 Button - 7565.00 (Hero) SB - 7285.00 BB - 4545.00 Hero: A KUTG folds, EP1 folds, EP2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 raises to 200, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds Flop: 8 8 J MP1 checks, MP2 raises all in for 900 MP1 seems fairly tight and not been involved in many pots. MP2 lost most of his stack trying to pull off a bluff against KK but other than that seems reasonably tight. You have them both covered easily with your chips. MP1's limp in then call of the raise is either a small to medium pair or possibly two high over card (AK, AQ, KQ etc)? MP2's raise of 3x the big blind suggests maybe TT+ ? putting these ranges into poker stove gives us the following: equity (%) win (%) tie (%) Hand 1: 07.3881 % 07.32% 00.06% { 77-44 } Hand 2: 74.6750 % 74.60% 00.07% { TT+ } Hand 3: 17.9369 % 17.87% 00.07% { AdKc } so 17% of the time we win, collect a large pot, knock 1-2 players out in the process and further increase our position as chip leader. If we lose, we have 6000+ chips which is still within the top 5 stacks in the tournment (76 players in). What would you do?

Re: How do you play this hand having called PF you have to fold here - you have shite - nice shite but shite :) PF action - I would have raised him (MP2) all in to see all 5 cards and stop others limp drawing after you limp call Just my thoughts Damo :cheers
