Re: what would you do in this spot? hard to say without know much about the structure of the game. Looks like you've gone fairly deep ? gut feel is fold though

Re: what would you do in this spot? It would help if we knew more about the tournament structure. I see that you're pretty deep (since the blinds are at level 28) so you should be way into the money; without any reads you can take the nitty route, fold and wait for a better spot to push and maybe creep your way up the payout ladder. However your M is only 5.35 at the beginning of this hand so if you're looking to challenge the big stacks and get a top 3 position you should definitely shove here with Ax. This is especially so if the blinds are about to go up.

Re: what would you do in this spot? Yeah, with just over 10xBB, and blinds likely to be going up at some point soon, I am shoving here. You are a better player than I am though, so your judgement far more likely to be correct. Looks to me like he is testing the new player out on the BB, could have a hand he could play but won't neccesarily do so if re-raised with the all in.

Re: what would you do in this spot? My thoughts were, My ace was ahead of his range, if i shove I can win the hand there and then, if not ive got an ace to fall back-on, I shove he calls, he shows KJ, and spikes a jack on the flop :) I was still pretty happy with the play though. next time i will spike an ace hehe

Re: what would you do in this spot? This is a horrible, I had a similar hand a few weeks back there was 18 left in a $5 rebuy on stars 7k to first I was second in chips. 3k entrants. Tables break up and I go straight into the big blind I can't remember what the blinds were but they were big at this time I think I had about a million chips. It's folded to the small blind who was chips leader he raises 4x bb and I have AK diamonds. I just ship the lot in for some reason and he snap calls with queens obviously I miss and he takes like a 2.8million pot and goes onto win the tourney. This hand still haunts me, never will I reship in this spot here again with no reads.

Re: what would you do in this spot? if im other guys shoes, im pushing KJ all day long, but maybe he thought that i thought if he raises making it look like stadard steal, then Imight reshove light, which would make his range away ahead of my re-steal range..
