You are playing in a NL MTT and are down to the last 3 tables of 10 players. Payouts start on position 27.

On the button, you are dealt A

K

. You currently have an average chip stack. Two shorter stacks both push all-in before you, and a player with a large stack calls. It will be half of your stack to call it. What is your play?

All-in, if you want to win the tournament, you have call, you are getting decent odds and have to gain more chips so that the blinds will not affect you and sometime in a MTT, you have to gamble.

I'd probably be boring and fold into the money.

All in. That's probably my favourite hand (wouldn't it be for anyone!) except pocket rockets but I never get them

I'd have to call it, even if I was the first to go all in, I'd hope everyone joined in on the fun.

I like to take chances so i would go all in.

Mr.Pauly · #7 03-06-2006, 07:09 PM

I say All in.

You must fold. The overcall would set something off inside of me that there is a very big hand out here, and my AK might not be good.

I'd call this one, if your going to win the whole tournament you need to win at least one huge pot, this hand would be the oppertune time to call.

worst mistake, trying to blind down into the money! ya gotta be a bit more aggressive at that stage.

call A.I. to (hopefully) scare any other players contemplating a call.

dont worry too much bout the low-stacked players, they gotta make a move sooner or later or they'll be blinded out (wouldnt be surprised to see suited connecters, or A,6 or K,5 etc from them); also possible that the other player is trying to get some easy money, even if he loses it prob wont hurt him much - CALL!!

Call. It's only half you're stack and you've got great odds of taking out 3 other players.

If you're not going to play that hand by calling you can't really expect to win the tournament. If you're playing to just place 27th or just in the money you'll never win money playing MTTs. Most the money is in the top 3 spots and you have to play to get into those positions. If you play to get into the money only you will be losing money in the long run.

Have to scare the other players off

In a tournament it is definitely going to be a push.
