Hey guys
I want your guys input on this hand i just finished playing a few hours ago. Im pretty sure i made the right play but i would appricate your input. But can we keep the critizsism to a minimum??
So needless to say, i am close to the bubble. Top 63 are paid and we have 67 players left. 606 people started. Avg stack is roughly 90k and blinds are at 4k and 2k with a 400 ante. We have about 5 minutes left at this level and then its going up to 5k and 2.5k with 500 ante.
The button is a massive chip leader, hes sitting on about 140k to 180k and has been raising with any ace, as he should be since we are close to the bubble and play tightens up here. He also makes the piont of tellin everyone that he isn't folding any ace.
So i have 21k in chips and im in the big blind. After posting im down to 17k. I started off the day at 51k and just kept on takin bad beats after bad beats. Put still kept my head straight and made some massive lay downs. And made some good steals to keep me in the running. Well this hand comes up.
Im dealt pocket tens and we have one person limp in late and the button raises to 9k. I go into the tank and do some math. I have 4k in the blind and 17k behind. If i fold here im down to about 14.6k when im in the small blind. By the time the big blind gets back to me in the next orbit i will be blinded/ante out. Or close to it. I would just have enough for the big blind. Also i took a walk around the room in between hands and it looked like i was the shortest stack in the room, if not one of the shortest.
So i push and i put the button on ace rag. He turns over ace 7. I was right. I figured this was the best time to take a stand.
Would you have played this hand differently or the same? give me your input.
