    Quick Spot from $5+R this morning. Background info is, I just doubled up a couple hands ago A10>A8... The BB was playing well and was aggressive in spots in/she should be. I think this is a standard shove but just wanted everyones opinion. I don't think i can ever 3x here because he's good enough to re-ship lightly and anything marginally good will also push me out.. I'm pretty sure it's a jam or open fold ? I just hate open folding pairs when he's folding so often and i'm still considerably below avg.. Any of you open mucking ? Thanks!!!!

    Also... his call is bad right ? I don't think there's enough Ax hands worse then A9 in my range to make this a call.... Maybe that depends on how many of my good hands i 3x vs..open jamming.

    Pretty standard play by both of you, I think. It's sick how many flips you've got to win to win a tournament like this.

    Personally, I may find it to complete, fold to a reraise preflop. Fold to anything but a flopped set if the BB lets me get that far.

    Weak?

    Thanks guys.. I thought it probably was standard.. Just frustrating cuz like Graps says, you really do have to continuously win flips to have a shot it seems.. Fred, I definitely think completing is a little weak and exploitable... It might be okay if I had been limping a little but i was only opening pots for raises so I would never complete to trap. I don't think he's letting me see a flop often enough to make it worth while but it would definitely be a safer route if i get could get away with it.
