Bubbled 10th, horrid hand. Bad Choice?

[jacbmw]

Consider that this knocked me out in 10th place (out of 909 in a $10), does the cash equity factor into this hand. This at least was not a donk knock out.

What are your thoughts?

With a push and a flat call, I think I would let this go. A flat call usually means AA/KK/AK, they don't mind another person coming in, and they're giving great odds to come in. Knowing that you would jump in payscale after this hand (barring a suckout) I think it's a fairly easy fold.

When rainsinger calls this becomes a really easy fold imho.. the cash equity only makes the fold 10x more easy..

THanks for the advice, it was the closet or furthest i have gone in a mtt, and as it was all new there was alot to think about.

[jackvance]

I think you should look at it like this.. the guy who goes allin has a pretty significant stack still, ie he can put a serious dent even in the bigstacks. TT is probably only slightly ahead of his pushing range. But when he gets a call, the range with which this guy is calling such a large push is no doubt quite ahead of TT.

Second thing, think about what the pot will be after your call. It'll be bigger than your stack. This means you're nearly pot-committed.. so basically by calling you agree to go allin on most any flop that hits, and that with TT on the bubble?!
