  2. sb:100 bb:200

    Seat 3: toebar[9h9d] (2775 in chips)You are FTA with 14bb's. Standard Raise/call or Push. You don't have enough chips to raise/fold.

    You run into [KK] and it's just a cooler when you both hit a set.
  3. If, instead, you'd put in a raise to 4x the BB, that would have been almost 30% of your chips, which leaves you pot-committed anyway. The way you played was the better approach.
  4. snap shove.
  5. don't even come back to this thread toebar, anyone says you should do anything different is smoking something that you don't want.
  6. in a sit-n-go UTG here you could make an argument for folding MAYBE and also for raising maybe 2.5x and folding if the big stack shoves and calling when anyone upto about 1700 shoves on you.

    In a tourney where you've got to double up ALOT more times to win I think the shove is proably the most EV decision.
