    This was getting close to the money. About 100 more to cash. I need to chip up to have any chance. Is this a good enough spot? Or should I have folded with the way he limped? I didnt even take the time to think, which I regret. I made up my mind I was playing for stacks when I saw my cards.

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t150/t300
    (Ante: t25)
    9 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: t21170
    UTG+1: t15035
    MP1: t9080
    MP2: t19205
    MP3: t12404
    CO: t5512
    Button: t13072
    Pearljammed: t5340
    Mr_Hand: t6420

    Pre-flop: (9 players) Mr_Hand is BB with
    7 folds, Pearljammed calls t150 <span>(pot was t675)</span>, <span>Mr_Hand raises to t1300</span>, <span>Pearljammed raises all-in t5315</span>, Mr_Hand calls t4015 <span>(pot was t6540)</span>.

    Flop: (t10855, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t10855)

    Turn: (t10855, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t10855)

    River: (t10855, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t10855)

    Results:
    Final pot: t10855
    <span>Mr_Hand showed 8s 8d</span>
    <span>Pearljammed showed Tc Td</span>

    The biggest leak is the one you already mentioned. You decided to play for your stack when you saw your cards.

    There is nothing wrong with seeing the flop when he completes.

    Overplaying medium pp's from the blinds is a leak of mine that I have been working on. After reviewing my own HH's, I have found that I bust later on more frequently by overplaying my medium pp's from the blinds preflop. My range for medium pp's for this discussion are 66-99.

    I have come to the conclusion that sometimes it is just better to see a flop than trying to use FE to steal the blinds. In this case, b/c you raised, you called off way to many BB's here with PJ's push. Mr_Hand calls t4015.

    I have no problem with your raise here, although, you have to fold to his push. PJ is not pushing a hand here that you are beating. So, as I mentioned, you already know your leak, try to not overplay your medium pp's from the blinds when you have this many BB's left in the tourney.

    GL at the tables,

    Blind vs. blind I'm never folding here. Given the effective stack of 17.5 bb's he's capable of limp/shoving fairly wide here. I'd say 22+ A2+, and any 2 paint.

    Jestor are you mistaking pearljammed for pearljammer?

    I made the mistake of posting the results of the hand. Im sure that brought some bias opinions. I would tend to agree with you killer. If he thinks Ill check too much but will call a bit more, he's giving up value with big hand by not open raising to something. If he thinks Ill raise too much then he can be limp shoving a very wide value range.
