I'm spending the night going through a bunch of my hh's.  I've been on a pretty nasty downswing and I obviously need to plug some leaks.  I'll be updating this thread all night.  Cheers!

This hand in retrospect I think is a call.  I think at the time I decided it was a marginal call and decided to fold and save my stack.

I almost folded here.  If he shoves I snap call, but his raise was obv. super suspicious.  Standard or spewy?

Consider the options:
PUSH
Shortstack still has 15 bbs and knows he will get a call based on pot odds, so at best you have a coin flip PLUS there's a caller behind you who called an UTG raise followed by a reraise, so he's obviously got a hand as well. I'd say you are likely up against two PP, one of which might well be KK/AA, but even if they are JJ and QQ for example you are a big dog 3-handed. Even if JMaster130 folds after you push you are still not the favorite I suspect.

CALL
JMaster130 will at least call, leaving you in the dark as to where you are. If he pushes, you lose an extra 300 or more if you subsequently call his push.

FOLD
Based on the above the preferred option - tough, but you still have plenty chips (30bb) to play with.

Edit: Note that the player still in the hand behind you is the main issue. If he were not there this is quite obviously an instacall.

My 2 cents

Jmaster being a solid thinking player is the only factor in this hand.  What is his flatting range?  Unless he misclicked then I think his range is like kk/aa only and probably only AA.

That's what I'm thinking - I assume you folded then?

I play the AK the same way here, but its tough to bet that flop i guess. guy has enough behind that you can pretty comfortably bet fold imo.

I play the AT the same as well, assuming you have no read on the bb that early in a MTT.

with the TT i may peel one here being that your hand may be a little too strong for an open check fold, however he did raise UTG so i guess this play may be also read dependent.

with the 99 and no read on the player i may have OPR'd/searched SouthCJ7 and checked out his results, but alot of times i push and prey here because your racing more often than not, and you will be way ahead more often than way behind IMO.

A9cc is a pretty standard reshove in that spot.

haha i like the spot with AK against JMaster,,,i would assign JMasters range 99-QQ, If you reshove you would have to pretty much assume he folds 99-JJ however QQ is a judgement call, i probably reshove with 30 or so BB remaining with your stack.
