Correct move ?

[Guest gazza271]

Advice and thoughts please on a hand from last night..... Virgin festival game, have passed the cash bubble stage and after 1 more goes out we are all guranteed a seat at the next DTD festival. I am guaranteed 47euro's at this stage but obviously wanted the seat more. This is a weak part of my game and my views are that i was down to 4 x BB and at this stage it is either push/fold time for most of the table. I had been playing fairly tight as had the guy I called in this hand, I put him on a mid range pp so knew I would be in a race anyway. Right or wrong play at this stage ? ***** Hand 1076434419 ***** 1000.00/2000.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit ) - 11 May 2008 22:12:17 Festival Weekly (Real /Tournament ) Seat 1: Loopy50 (11716.00) Seat 2: g0stface1 (10013.00) Seat 3: siwka31 (17865.00) Seat 4: rivrdu (18131.00) Seat 5: DrOwl (10719.00) Seat 6: PLgazza (8543.00) Seat 8: morlspin (27127.00) Seat 9: JulioArca (10017.00) Seat 10: grahams007 (13069.00) PLgazza post SB 1000.00 morlspin post BB 2000.00 ** Deal ** Loopy50 [N/A, N/A] g0stface1 [N/A, N/A] siwka31 [N/A, N/A] rivrdu [N/A, N/A] DrOwl [N/A, N/A] PLgazza [Qs, As] morlspin [N/A, N/A] JulioArca [N/A, N/A] grahams007 [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** JulioArca Fold grahams007 Fold Loopy50 Fold g0stface1 All-in 10013.00 siwka31 Fold rivrdu Fold DrOwl Fold PLgazza All-in 8543.00 morlspin Fold *** Flop(Board): *** : [Kd, 6d, Jh] *** Turn(Board): *** : [Kd, 6d, Jh, 4d] *** River(Board): *** : [Kd, 6d, Jh, 4d, Js] *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 20886.00 Loopy50 Fold Win: 0.00 g0stface1 [9h, 9d] Two pair jacks and nines Win: 20886.00 siwka31 Fold Win: 0.00 rivrdu Fold Win: 0.00 DrOwl Fold Win: 0.00 PLgazza [Qs, As] Pair of jacks Win: 0.00 morlspin Fold Win: 0.00 JulioArca Fold Win: 0.00 grahams007 Fold Win: 0.00

Re: Correct move ? Gut feel, it's a pretty easy fold :unsure - you've just paid the blinds - you have a circuit ahead of you (by the time the blinds get back to you you will no longer be the short stack) - you dont want to be calling to race at this stage - if you race, you're 50% to get eliminated there and then - if you fold, there are enough short stacks, you have to be about 80% to get a seat minimum :unsure At this stage, "the gap" is massive - you want to be getting your money in first.... you dont want to be calling, even with relatively big hands - again, especially if he's been tight....
