    This hand took place a little after the bubble burst in a 5.50 rebuy + addon NLHE (5k guaranteed) tournament. It presented me with a tough spot. So many variables to consider its almost mind boggling. First thing i do is kick myself for trying to push my weight around in mid position with the table chip leader to my left lol. Now im left with multiple decisions.

    PGB32 has 7.5bbs before the hand starts and he has to post bb. After my rasie, its only another 4.5 bbs to see his all in so im getting close to 4 to 1 on the call after already investing close to half his stack. This makes the call that more appealing/harder to get away from. Although i cannot be entirely comfortable in my call based on size of the bet; could be spewing 4.5bbs into a superior hand.

    However, i have bigger things to worry about. What is emir51 flatting with?? Is he simply using his position to legitimize a normally poor hand or is he in fact slowplaying a monster and im running into a dangerous situation. After i think about that for awhile, i have 3 options:

    1. flat and hope that emir51 neither calls or raises...which seems like taking a shot in the dark but could be a financially sound idea.

    2. isoship my 2nd chip stack at the table verses the leader, hoping to see a fold and play for a good amount of value against PGB32

    3. lay it down in fear of running into a monster and an earlier than desired finish in this relatively lucrative tournament...

    all 3 have their pros and cons...How would you play it???

    You are raising too much. Raise to 4500, will accomplish the same as 6500. I think you have to call. It's only 8k more to win 20k+ pot.

    call and pray for a suck out or hope that he shows 88, or kq, agree that your raise is too much, and the only way i fold here is if the stats show that this player is supper nitty and hasnt played a hand
