    If I just call and lose Id still have 35k at 800/1600 level, or if i shove and lose I'm left w/ only 17k.. whats my move?

    Does having the extra 11 BBs by just calling outweigh the missed value I get when I shove and win..

    Shove here is bad. You aren't getting called by any hands you beat. Question should be whether to fold or call...not call or shove.

    I think he either has air or has you killed, and the river doesn't really look like it made your hand the way it was played out, I just call. Looks like he has a set to me, maybe I'm wrong.

    yeah i kinda felt like he had air or a big hand too- definitely could just have a K tho, so wasnt sure what to do.. i ended up just calling.. results are in white above in the original post (just highlight to read)

    Ended up winning the tourney for 9k so i guess any missed value didnt actually matter this time..

    Thanks, were you watching? Once we got to 3 handed I realized how afraid they both were to go out 3rd and it was just on- Ive never been that aggressive/relentless.. my inner LAGtard was unleashed i guess, haha
