Bad play / unlucky ?

[Mr Intensity]

If you think this is really bad please not much abuse:lol Playing a 'double your money' on Crypto - 6 players so 3 paid. I'd been way down to 200 chips and got back up to close to 2000. Blinds were getting big so I was struggling a bit. Here's the twist - Henkers had been sitting out for about 5 minutes. I can't remember his exact stack, but it was slightly more than mine, perhaps 1100 before positing the blind. The two big stacks had been shoving every hand. So I get JJ and big stack shoves. The way I see it - with my stack I can't shove against them so if I fold this them I'm folding every hand. If I fold every hand and Henkers doesn't come back then he'll have an all in at some stage with a random hand against a random hand from one of the big stacks. By this point I'll have very few chips and will also have to win a random hand. In this spot I'm fairly certain I'm ahead. After the hand I got quite a bit of abuse from Podgurc.

Re: Bad play / unlucky ? It was the right decision. You have 6 hands before you're blinded down to being all in. Henkers has 5 hands. That is assuming that blinds don't go up. However there is a chance that they will go up and if they do you could find yourself being blinded out before Henkers! Are you going to get something better than JJ in the next 6 hands? Probably not - therefore you made the right move. Ignore the abuse, it's not worth it.
