I played at a live tournament last night, $60 buy in, 30 people, and a bounty of $5 for every player you knock out. Its down to 6 players and im about the middle stack and the following hand happened,
- Short stack goes all in for 3000
- I call the 3000 and have about 10K left so im playing for about 25% of my chips.
-The chip leader who has about 35K in front of it raises me up to 9K which would have pretty much put me all in.
- I have AQ off and im pretty pissed that he doesnt just check it down so we can get this guy out but after deliberating I figured 3 handed all in with AQ wasnt very good odds so I fold.
Chip leader shows 88
Short stack shows A10
Cards - (Q-A-4-10-5)
Hindsight is 20-20 but what would you guys have done in that situation? I ended up getting 4th out of 30 and bubbling out.![]()

Don't call the shortstack with players behind you, simply go all-in yourself

Yeah, and don't call the short stack with AQo. I'm afraid the re-raiser got a good read on you. That call, w/o the shove that says "I just isolated him, this pot is MINE" is simply screaming one of two things:
a. You've got a monster, and really want everybody to play, and it's a trap for me, or
b. You're sitting on a marginal hand, but have been very careful, and the fact is, you can get away from your hand, and not be hurt too much.
Very nice. After watching you for a minute, the raiser figured out which one it was. ON the nose. He didn't need an ace to make the raise, but if he found even one in his hand, well, it's that much less likely you've got two of them. Here comes the shove.
