It's a multitable tourney at
Partypoker last night. It's a $109 buyin and it's out of 470 players. First prize is $11,750. It's down to 14 players and I have about 25,900 in front of me. I am 10th in chips but if I were to double up it would move me to 4th because the size of the stacks are all pretty close. The blinds are 4,000 and 2,000. I am on the button and everyone folds to me. I have K9s. The 6k of the blinds is about 25% of my stack, so I move allin and hope that the blinds both fold. SB folds and the BB thinks about it forever. I have him outchiped by about 3,000. He finally calls and turns over K-10, ouch. I don't improve and that cripples me. The board was 653 2 J. I end up coming in 14th which only paid $399.50
So, looking back if I would of raised it to 8,000 he would of called. But when the flop came 653, he would of most likely checked and then I would of moved allin and he would of folded. That would of put me at 37,900 and in good shape to take the $11,750. He would only have 8k in there on the flop which leaves him with about 15k, so he would not be priced in to call.
Do you all agree?
