Thoughts:
Final table of tournament, Only had about 5 BB's worth of chips so all-in preflop with 89s.

Was this a smart move or no?

Sorry for the format.. This was played on bovada and I have yet to find a way to get hand history.

[drmcboy]

I took out the results.

Also, try and give us an idea of the other stack sizes since it's the FT.

what are your reads on these two?

what are the chances you can open shove one of the X hands before your blind?

what are the chances you can get a fold jamming?

I think you should probably fold and hope UTG goes broke. If you think there is no chance you get a fold open shoving, this is close, but still probably better to wait.

Other stack sizes matter. This seems thin at best no matter what, though.

[Chusko]

Meh, this is a fold for me. As mentioned, knowing the other stacks would be helpful, but unless this is a particularly tight final table, chuck'em.

[Icanhastreebet]

This has got to be a fold unless you are the shortest and some maniacal big stack is going to iso all the dead money for you a lot although even then I am not sure as I havn't studied situations like this in forever.

I could shove this if it folded to me in this spot, but not with two callers because my FE is shot to pieces. At 2/1 someone is going to call and we're behind like always.

So I'm folding here with one caller, leave alone two.

[Sykedupp]

I'm always folding in this spot. You're better off being 1st in, and if thats not possible then even defending with ATC in your BB is preferrable to shoving here I think.

The problem you have is you are going to get called by one if not both.

Ppl say that suited connectors can be good late in tournaments as they can be live, flop well etc.

But as mentioned you really need to think about how much FE u have especially as u only have 5BBs so people know your range is wide.

The thing is if some1 calls you with Ax Kx etc it is the worst thing ever is for the board to completely blank and you go out to a high card hand.

Although it still amazes me why ppl limp at these blinds it's still not with garbage and could well be Aces. The flat call from UTG+1 is even more crazy but either way im pretty sure u will get at least one call and maybe even two.
