With the effective stacks, I like it. MP2 and SB are just donkin' around and you're ahead of MP1's range. Add in the 1200 of dead money and it's investing 2k to win 3400 and the times you take it preflop and this is a very +EV push. You were just unlucky that MP2 was trapping with tens like a donk. MP1 and MP2 are pretty committed, but you're putting them to the test to either make a mistake by folding or a mistake by calling and they don't know which is which.

so much dead chips in the pot. i love the play, and make a similar play everytime in this situation.

Thanks guys.

Stupid $4 donkies. I had only shown down two hands at this table...KK and QQ who hit a set. But no, they don't pay any attention

I would definatly just flat-call and hope to flop a set. otherwise, you have a big stack...no need to get so tricky early in the game.

It was a tourney.

I posted this on two other sites and everyone has said it's the only right play so, *shrugs*
