Anyone let this go?

    Default Anyone let this go?

    I'm in good shape here, chip leader with a couple of stacks with M <3. I raise basically thinking I'll get the blinds or maybe one of the shorties will try their luck with me. However I'm pushed over by the second stack. He's been playing pretty well I don't think this is a bluff, he's got something. So my question is can I abandon the 1000 I've committed to avoid what might be a race against a pair because of the situation in the tourney? Or does the chance of dominating a weaker ace balence it out?
    If I call and lose I'm in trouble...

    You're pretty much in trouble as is cuz of the blinds. The only reason not to open-push is because you want someone to push over so you can call, which you got.

    I don't like to be an "echo poster", but I fully agree with swiggidy on this one.
