I am hoping to give and get some insight on why we make the decisions we do in specific cases during on-line tournaments.
My first case is this:
It was the CC Friday freeroll. Payout is 45th place qnd we are at 107 players. Blinds are 75/150 and due to go up to 100/200 in 2 minutes. I have 1290 chips. I am utg+2 and get dealt K J offsuit. I figure with my stack, this hand is pretty decent and everyone at the table is playing solid. I don't think I have enough fold equity with blinds increasing shortly, So I go all-in. I get folders to the big blind, who has 2700 chips. He shows pocket 6's.
I lost hand in case you are interested, board bricked out.
If I was Big blind, I probably would have folded the 6's. If I lose hand, I still have 18 bb. If I lose, I am down to 9. For me, I think I would have waited for a better spot, especially since I am still in a good position to make a deep run.
What plays would you have made in both my situation and big blind, and why? Remember, this is on-line so you probably have 30 seconds. I believe that in this case, the decision making process is more important than the result.
