REPOST: Hand Deep in 25k WPT Championship

[David "Not Bakes" Baker]

Day 4 of the WPT Championship with 29 left our table is 7 handed and I have been card dead for the whole day, but tons of total junk for the last hour and a half that I have been at this table. I am real short, the blinds are 12k-24k with 3k ante, I have 195k behind my 24k BB......Lucky Chewy opens for 74k from the cutoff and I look down in the BB and see Q9dd he has close to a million in chips and has been pretty solid from what I have seen. I know he is fully aware of my stack size when raising, what is your course of action and why?

With 8 blinds left does it really matter? No reraise fold equity so I would probably call and shove on any pair, any draw. If the flop is really horrible I save the last 6 blinds.

Does it really matter? Your prob right you should prob just give up when your 28 places from 2.1 million. I prob should have given up when I had 17k when the average was 200k mid way through day 2.

1. I like to stop and go with that its hard to be drawing dead if he calls or hits the flop plus lets him get away from alot of hands if me misses.
2. can shove dont like it unless you want to be praying for something to pop.
3. call fold is ok if the board completely misses you but that takes me back to #1 were he might of missed it to gives you a shot at taking it.
4. fold still got 5or6 hands before you in anytwo mode

Your in the BB? The cut off raised with a decent stack, your right, i am sure he knows of your chip size and knows that you might have to either shove/fold here. I can assume that he has a hand he might not want to race against, but if he has to, will...... I dont know his range but from what i feel, he has something maybe along the lines of K10, 89s, etc.

If your in the BB, then my decision will be based a lot on what the Button, SB do here. if they both fold or even SB flats.. i think your getting the right odds to shove it in. I think stop and go might not be the worst thing to do.. if you get a random low flop or something very reasonable for you hand. you might nail a flush draw and or straight draw on can move in, with them committed to calling you and making you a bigger pot..

Stop and go can be very effective here at the stakes I play. He may well know you're shoving any flop and may look you up with an ACE hi.

I hate the shove here. You know you're getting called and almost certainly you're behind. Now you're just hoping for a suck out. That's no way to play poker IMO.

After all is said and done, I think a fold is the best play here.

Yes I agree I would just let it go, I think you definitely have enough time to find a better spot than this.

What did you end up doing btw I'm intrigued.

So what happened?
