Girevik .......
I'd love to get heads up with this guy - he's short stacked and could have about anything - but my position sucks. Should I have pushed and hoped that scares away any callers or played it safe and waited for a better opportunity.

If Girevik was first to act, i'd fold...he's probably got better than 99, or atleast 2 over cards...and if he hasn't, someone else probably has...not worth the risk i'd say...
I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour and who then asks: Am I then a cheat? for he wants to perish.

very hard to follow. if you can plz bold/color/make larger your stack and the blinds
i dont see anything wrong with calling here. its basically a standard raise, but he is all in. a push is fine too.
you have utg beat here like 80% of the time. hes utg and the blinds will crush him next 2 hands. im not folding here. fuck position and push
if you push are they folding TT? if you call and they push are you folding? other biggest is only 4200 so you are still fine if you get all in with himit's better to be pissed off than pissed on
missot on stars. come to my poker vent server! (its a voice chat program)

This is the turbo, the guy has less than 4 bb blinds.
You have two choices, raise to about 2500, or just push to isolate. (notice that "fold" isn't a choice?)
Kuchjax is the only one that has you covered, and you will have to call anyone elses reraise, so just go all-in.

I fold this. Even though he probably doesn't have a premium hand like AK, he's likely to be in a race with you with JTs or such. At best, you end up heads up as a 52% favorite. At worst, somebody behind you has a better hand, and they'll put you all in or call your all in.
It's too early in the tournament to care about knocking other people out. You just want to maximize your own stack. Calling or raising is less than at 50/50 shot, so it's a clear fold in early position.

If this where a standard tournament I would agree, but this is a turbo.
Your stack isn't that big, withing 10min or so you will be down to 10BBs. This is a good gamble.
It doesn't matter if you are a coin flip because you are on the good side of it, and there is some dead money in the pot.

Push!!!
or raise big
He can have suited connetc 1 over card or anything else. Plus you have 1.4:1 for your money.
Even if he have 2 over or a bigger PP, it wourts it IMO.
KJ
