    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter

    MP1 (t1400)
    MP2 (t1530)
    Hero (t3365)
    Button (t3120)
    SB (t1040)
    BB (t1270)
    UTG (t1830)
    UTG+1 (t1445)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with , .
    UTG calls t50, UTG+1 calls t50, MP1 calls t50, MP2 calls t50, Hero calls t50, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: (t350) , , (7 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 bets t100, MP2 folds, Hero raises to t300, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 raises to t600, Hero folds.

    I really didnt like this raise. With his stack, this was a push or fold decision. MP1 hadent been playing many hands, I actually put him on a set but a stronger ace was also reasonable. This is a $3 Stars Tubro MTT which is why I'm wondering if its a bad fold.. Folding also left me tied for chip lead, whereas pushin and losing puts me back at an average stack.

    Final Pot: t1250

    I like the fold. This was a re-raise that was asking for a call. Minimum bets and raises can be ambiguous, but re-raises are the ones that you wanna be cautious of this early.

    Way too early to gamble with a 9 kicker.

    I agree. He was basically begging for a call, but trying to build to build a big pot at the same time.
