Hey Everyone,
I was playing in a 200 person tournament pass the money bubble and sitting in 3rd place with about 28 players remaining.
I had about 80k in chips with 2nd about 100 and 1st about 120k.
Average stack was around 30-35k.
1st. $140
2nd.$80
3rd. $35
4th.$20
rest is exponentially lowering with about 10-30 place around only $5
I am sitting in the small blind and guy to my right has re-raised on the button twice in a row now. I have AQs and call his 40k all in. He has A4o.
Board runs out and he catches a 4 and double up and I lose half my stack.
I am new to tourneys guys, is this what realizing ICM considerations is all about?!?!? Where do you know what should be folded generally vs. ICM concerns vs. not? I mean I could have won all his chips and moved up to about tied with first, or what happened was I lost half my stack only to be pushed in the middle of the tier losing another impending flip (although I was in the lead preflop then too).
Should I of folded and looked to play more post flop/maybe looking for a spot too where I gain fold equity to go all in with AQs not call down an all in? Thanks everyone. This was my closest to putting away a tourney as I just started playing them and am not sure if this is just variance and I made the right play or if I should lay this down with ICM considerations.
