$18 r/a on vcpoker
27 spots pay, 35 people remaining

600-1200 blinds

table folds


SB (70k stack) raises to 8000
Hero (9,300) has KJ

Hero ?

[ensign_lee]

...raises all in.

Hero's gonna get blinded out soon and this is as good a hand as any to make a stand with.

Cross your fingers and hope for the best.

yep i pushed and lost to AQo, the chip leader had been making huge raises regularly and I think he was on a rush of cards

this was a tough loss for me

You might be able to limp to the money, but at some point you will have to take a stand with that little stack and try to get something started to make a run at the final table. Good push. Not all good plays have a good result.

very unlucky
Im calling too

[Demiparadigm]

fold.
don't call off all your chips with a short stack. look to find a place to push, and make people call you.
OTOH, I am almost never down to <10BBs in a MTT. I try and find places to pick up chips, and hands to go with before this, usually.
I don't think a push here is horrible, but I would raither push with 78s when folded to me, than call a big raise with KJs.

Easy push IMO, he can make this play with any two cards.

If you really care about cashing, you probably don't have the BR to play the tourney.
