Im wondering what the general thinking is in this situation. Im at the start of a large tournament, not even 20 hands in and i get A-K off on the big blind, a player with 42% vpip shoves all in from UTG, then the HJ thinks for 20 seconds or so and calls. For anybody thats not read my log, ive been busted and am trying to rebuild, this is in the daily dollar tournament on full tilt that i won entry into via points.
The blinds go up every 10 minutes, you have 3000 chips to start, theres 2500+ in already. The pot would be over 9000 if i call. My thinking was that the utg raiser probably has a pretty nothing hand, and the hj has a medium pair, 9's to 10's maybe, obviously wouldnt matter which. I made the call and the utg raiser had Q-10 off and the hj had pocket 10's. The board hit nobody and im out.
Do you think i should just wait it out or no? my reasoning for making the call was simply that if i hit i would be top 20 in chips / way ahead of the blinds. I could then afford to put pressure on others, or be more patient depending on the table.
Thanks for your opinions,
Paul
