How tight is too tight?

[theBlueTick]

This was a 30 player sng on titan. I'd been getting nothing all game (couple of A - pictured suited at best) and been very patient.

Late on when I'm getting a bit short which of these would you be playing. Assume no raisers before the Hero.

The first few are when we're down to 2 tables - around 11 players.

Blinds 100/200

Hand 1

Button Hero (1580)
SB (690)
BB (2890)
UTG (9955)
UTG+1 (2790)

Preflop: Hero is on the Button with 8h 9h
UTG calls 200, 4 folds, BB?

Hand 2

I can try to answer your questions, but strictly speaking for 3+ table tourneys the MTT forum is your place. Would you like me to move your post?

What's the payout structure? Are there antes?

Anyway, I'll take a shot at these:

Hand 1: Fold. Even ignoring the high likelihood that an UTG limper has a monster and the chance of a call behind you, you're going to get called and you're flipping with a random hand.

Hand 2: I'd stick it in.

Hand 3: I think you messed up here, it looks like four people are CO? Anyway, I'd fold.

Hand 4: Fold.

Hand 5: Fold

Hand 6: Shove

Hand 7: Probably the toughest one, and it's important to know what the payout structure is. If top 5 get paid, I'd fold, since there are two stacks with an M of 3.

Hand 8: I don't like our hand but we're going to get decimated by the blinds, so I would shove.

Hand 3 is where we got to the final table, and I blame the non-ftr hand convert

Pay out is top 5 positions
