    Default Shortly after first break of MTT

    Nowhere near the bubble so still playing tight. No dependable read on Villain as I was just moved to this table after the break. From what I've seen though, I think he's a LAG

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: ITH Forums)

    Button (t3400)
    SB (t4443)
    BB (t6190)
    UTG (t5165)
    Hero (t5895)
    MP1 (t8740)
    MP2 (t4335)
    MP3 (t5105)
    CO (t1167)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with , .
    1 fold, Hero raises to t600, 5 folds, SB raises to t4518, 1 fold, Hero ????
    So what do we do? Call or fold?

    This is close, but on your stack I'd fold. Jacks would be close and Queens I probably call.

    Before I made my decision, I evaluated where I was. I had an above average stack, though not that much above. My M was >20. So I wasn't desperate to make a move. Then I thought about his range of hands. I think his range was a little bigger than TA said. I put his range at 77+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs. Of this range, I am 4-1 over 77-99. 4-1 dog with JJ+, and coinflip with the rest.

    My initial raise of 4xBB was designed to either win the blinds or face only 1 opponent. With everyone folding but the SB, it worked, but SB's push didn't make me happy at all.

    My ultimate decision is in white so others can weigh in, I folded as I didn't want to risk 80% of my chips on a probable coinflip this early in the tournament.

    Mid pair, early position, you dont have a good read on villan, still early in the tourney, your stack is ok (if you dont lose it here)... I fold
