    Looks like a weak position bet(50), but this is still not a standard play. You are not heads up. Any insight into tamarsdad? Would he limp any A and call off his stack when it pairs? Anybody like to slowplay (good board for it)? Just think that the confidence level should be high that they're folding because you are risking your tournament life on not getting called - for 250 in chips.

    Ballsy.

    Yeah 50 is a weak bet, but I don't know if putting my tourney life at risk for 200 chips is worth it (then again 200 is 1/4 your stack!) unless I have one helluva read.

    VQ - have you thought about moving to PS? I stopped playing Party SnGs because the structure really blows. PS SnGs definitely don't have the same whambamthankyouma'am speed but you'll have more time to develop reads and act on them.

    It is a better place to work on postflop than at party.

    LOL....a rasise to t200 will have the same effect...hes calling you with an ace whether you raise to 200 or 700.....why push.....play poker mang....you can raise to 200 and if he calls/pushes then you know where you stand and still have a stack to play with.....

    u dont think 78o could be leading out here?

    but i guess i kno what u meant
    use only as many chips as u need to get the job done.

    you dont have to win every hand that you're in. you have nothing and he'll probably call it with any ace. it may be a position bet and it may not be. i don't think this is ev+. just fold it out. you could try a raise to 200, but it's more than 25% of your stack. is it worth it? I think you should save the chips for the higher levels, but a raise is certainly better than a push here...
