  6. Shove, you have 10bbs so there is no point in a 3x since you can't raise fold. Shoving gives you maximum fold equity, I would shove a ton of hands here KTs would be one of the stronger ones.

  9. Thats kinda unlucky tho. If you do get called in this spot and you either have two live cards or two overs you should be happy. The real issue that you should be concerned about is what happened to make your stack get so short?
     
  10. i was around 140k from about 25 people, i was tryin to find a good spot to get it in and it never came, i was staying mostly around 120k. i had one oppurtunity that i missed late, i folded 44 first to act, it eventually went raise reraise call, and i woulda flopped a 4 lol. but i never woulda calld that after the raises. i also got moved off my table about 15 hands b4 this, i had a good read on super aggro guy that seemd to show respect to my raise and reraises, i think i waited to long to make moves on him, as i got moved, but not say, he contributed nicely to my stack

  11. 140k at what blind level tho. FTP mtts are crazy late game.
     
  12. But really with 10bbs I don't mind him having AQ your not dominated so your aren't that big of a dog. Yeah FTP's end game is the worst.
     
  13. i believe the first time i broke 100k was at 1500/3000, and was at 140k at 2000/4000.. i was 7th outta 20. and then it just got bad for me, nothing to make any kind of moves with, i was stealing some blinds but it was keeping me about even... oh well, ill just rock em next time, hopefully making both final tables.

  14. Well everyone disagrees with me, lol! Ok, the reason I wouldn't shove here is that someone has a shorter stack than you and I don't want to risk all my chips if someone reraises here, you are only one spot from the FT and I think the money jump is significant. Now, I know you're not supposed to think about that, you're only supposed to think about winning the tourney, but I don't like the hand that well to be comfortable shoving here and wouldn't want to risk my whole tourney life on it after I've come so far. Probably a leak in my game, but you asked why so there is my thinking, exposed for all the world to see:)
  15. This is like the most std shove ever....
  16. Oops, I misread this, didn't realize you were on the button. Ok, yeah, I shove, too.
