  2. to me id say raise about $120,000 or so, if someone reraises just lay it down imo
  3. u have 18BB. easy push if no FT bubble.
    could be RF with this kinda ICM effect and if the blinds are nitty.
    however if u dont want to finish 9. or something like this, u have to take the risk.
  4. How were the big stacks playing? I'd probably jam if they were active & 3-betting frequently. If they were somewhat passive, I'd be fine with a r/f in this spot.
  5. they had being active but mine first 3 raises had gone through but were in differesnt situations i think a lot change gears and stuff pretty well

  6. i would r/f here. Your stack is big enough to make serious damage to the other staks, except the bigblinds. If wesley is contantly bullying the table and if you are SURE that he is aware of your scaredness, you could even r/c or r/j ... but in general i would r/f
