22 ish people left i think it was.

table is 7 handed, blinds are 6000/12000, we have 160k in chips and are UTG

we are dealt AJo. what is our play?

my 1st instinct was that i really wanted to play a hand here because i felt i was getting way too short. i saw the A, then the J then really thought it was good enough and decided to push and had the slider dragged all the way to the right.

then i thought pushing was stupid because we have 160k and only have AJ utg. then i thought folding was stupid because once we post we only have 10ish bb's and would kill to have a hand like AJ.

so i couldnt fold, and for some reason made it 40k, and then called a shove from the sb, thinking i cant possibly fold now after putting 40k out there.


wtf... what do i do there

what were the other stacks on the table?

the big stack was 2 to my left with 440k, to his right was the next with like 260k, everyone else was under that for some reason

hmm.. I don't like the push, imo you're only being called by a hand that dominates you or has you on the worst side of a coinflip. I'm not one for flat calling UTG at this stage of an MTT so for me it's either fold or raise (to 30-40k). MP I raise it, but UTG i think i fold.

I'm not overly experienced at the latter stages of MTT's though so I may be wrong here.

Any antes?

I think he correct play is probably open for standard raise and fold to a push.

I would either shove or fold though, and honestly can't say which without being at the table.

really? what hands are calling that are behind here? A10? KQ/KJ? for me the standard raise gives more ev than the shove.

If you're gonna play it would you not rather go with a standard raise, fold to a push, and if called shove any flop?

Yeah that strategy would probably work best i guess.
