Hand from 100K on Bodog

Postby redman7027 » Jul 19 2010

I busted on this one. 30 runners left

You are in the BB with 8 blinds with 44. The hijack bets 2.5 blinds.

Understanding the Payout structure is so weighted toward the top and the fact that I was having difficulty being 1st in I thought it was time.

Should I have wait?

This is an easy shove with quite a bit more than 8BB.

Yes a pair is great here. Can't ask for more than that when up against someone in late postiion. Of course I busted out Sunday 55<99.
Poker taught me how to be self critical and how to use to that to improve...also taught me how to dust myself off and go again. The past is the past. Learn your lessons and move right on. --Paulif

There's no point in waiting. You won't necessarily get a better spot so just shove and hope for a flip.

Shove all day long. You don't have enough chips to wait for a better spot. You have to gamble and a pair is more than strong enough.
