Blinds=1250/2500 about 400 players remaining

Villian 1=19BB VP-43 PFR-24 over 21 hands (MP)
Villian 2=37BB VP-41 PFR-16 over 63 hands (button)
Hero =45BB VP-13 PFR-8 over 158 hands (CO)
SB= 62BB
BB= 29BB


Hero is dealt 77 in CO. There are 2 limpers (UTG+1 and MP). I decide to limp as well from CO to try and set mine.


Button shoves 19BB. SB,BB,UTG+1 all fold. MP flat calls.


At this point I'm not sure what to do. If I shove as well MP will call and losing the hand will leave me with 12BB. I have a pretty healthy stack right now to knockout other players so my thinking is not to just throw it away on a mid pocket pair. I could be dominated by many other pockets and am just not looking to gamble for my tournament life at this point. To this point I've collected about $2 in bounties but was really card dead all tournament. Am I wrong? Was I playing too nit?

if btn wins and you beat mp after shoving you will still lose chips (btn get 19bb and you take 18 bb off mp) so i think the fold is right

I guess it was the correct fold. 77 is not the hand that plays almost all-in against two villains pre-flop, in the dark ...

But it would be interesting to know with what cards they opened. (since the raise was equal, obviously, in this hand was the opening of cards). Not the essence of what was on the board - we still do not know this pre-flop when making the decision, but it is important to understand how accurately we evaluate the hands of the villains. Were their cards better than your 77?

Is the button shoving or is he raising to 19bb of 37bb, or do you have stacks in wrong player. Is Btn shoving 37bb and MP calls the all in - IM FOLDING

If Im risking 19bb without the risk of getting of gettting jammed on, Ill call off 19bb

utg+1 limp
mp - limp
co you - limp

BTN 37BB - raised to 19bb or does btn have 19bb and shoves over limpers and MP calls (is MP all in now or does he have 37bb)

im confused on btn action shove or raise and is MP calling put him all in and or does someone still have chips


So basically Ill play this pot for 19bb but not for 37bb

Sorry you are right I typo'd the villains. BTN shoved and MP+1 called with 12BB left behind.

Yea man that FLAT then is dangerous and would make me want to fold. If he's a thinking player, he's flatting the bigs here, But Im not getting 37bb in here with 77. even if he does shove. but THAT FLAT IS SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOLD

EDIT- Now I see the results, NEXT TIME with these 2 GET IT IN!!! you now know that MP is clueless

BTN SHOVE IS THUMBS UP

MP FLAT is insane and should of been folded.

5 handed I dunno, still seems insane

Tournaments with bounty, it is always difficult to define a range. So that by the value of the bounty at that time that still has to be low, I think it's bad to call

In this situation folding the 77s was the right move. There are too many ways for you to be beat. Especially with a caller ahead of you. Best thing to do is leave to fight another hand
