Hello there,

I have been lurking around on the forums for a rather long time now. Registered a while back and finally figured i'd make the big step and post something.

My question is the following :

I was playing in a Brick & Mortar FO the other day. Buy in 35 bucks, 36 players, top 5 are itm.

Blinds increase every 15 minutes.

We are down to 11 players, meaning two short handed tables. I have an M of 8, and the average M is around 15. CO & CO+1 folds. On to me with button & blinds behind me. Their M's range from 9 to 12, and they all are pretty solid tight players. My table image is tight. ( Havent caught a hand since i got to this table ~ 3 orbits)

I look down at A2 os and my thinking is the following :
1 My table image = tight
2 My chip count = ok compared to the rest. Im the short stack, but still a danger.
3 I have an Ace with no kicker. Against 6 cards (3 players) the chance on being dominated is possible, but not huge.
4 If i push, ill probably get folds.

So as you can guess i made the push and got called by SB with A9. I caught my 2 and he caught his 9. Best hand won, im out.

But my question is what did i miss in my thinking process ? Or is it just that i made a mistake at 3 and thus also 4?

I'd love to hear from you guys!

thanks,
Janus
