    gonna go with standard shove. if you raise to 90k then if he puts u allin you are still getting 2-1 to call.

    So I'm glad to see it's not entirely obvious. I'd been moderately active taking blinds and defending, but not a maniac.

    I guess the more specific question I have is this: With the $$$ available at the FT, how (if at all) does that change standard push/fold strategy? Thanks for the input.

    standard shove imo, the blinds are gonna eat you alive so if u want any chance once and if u get to the final table you can't play that tight

    gg last night mdry. Where did you finish?

    I standard shoved it (as you know) and BB had AQ. Just unlucky I know, but I thought about it a lot afterwards. You were at the FT like 3 hands later.

    How different is this than a satty tourney with 8 or 9 seats available where 11th gets nothing?
