Here is a hand I played a the final table of a 110 seat Tourney on Ultimate.

9 players remaining at the final table, I am on the button, I am short stacked with 6500 or so in chips blinds a 800/1600 utg raises to 3600, utg+2 makes it 9000. I am dealt 77 with the blinds yet to act behind me. What do you do?


I quickly folded putting the reraise on TT or JJ. as turned out the small blind called with AJ the reraiser had AK the player utg folded to a raise on the flop. The flop came 973 which would have given my a set and the pot of nearly 30,000 which would have put me second in chips.

I ended the tourney in 6th.

fold is standard. depending on reads you're probably folding just to UTG since you don't have enough to move him off any hand.

Don't post results.

Try to put people on a range, not exact hands. Short stacked AK/AQ plays pretty much exactly like TT/JJ.

^^ easy fold given the action in front. I'd get it in there if I had QQ maybe JJ, but otherwise, look for a spot to open push.

Not trying to steal a thread but this question popped up into my head as I was reading over the posts. At this point does it really matter what the action is in front?...you have an extremely low M and can only last a few more rounds...with 77 I think im shoving here everytime...this is probably a leak in my game..so could someone explain why shoviing would be a bad move?

Even in short stacked situations, two early position players both raising reeks of strength. If it were a middle position raisor and a button reriasor, then 77 would likely be a push against their ranges.
