ok so this is just going off the tourney I was just in but I'm talking in general since theres many times you're up against the wall..
My tourney went like this..
Doubled up early, sat on my stack didn't really have any hands for 20 hands or so.. finally get AQ,
Raise the standard 3xbb blinds are 25/50
SB calls
Flop comes 5c6c7d
I check
He bets 200.. I call.
Turn comes Ad
He bets 250.. which I thought was a lil bit sus but I rereaised up to 650 he within a split second reraised another 400.. I then figure he either has a set or flopped two pair..
2 or 3 hands later I have AJ in the SB I raise standard 3bb he shoves all in.. this guy had stats of 4/4 over 30 hands or was it 40?? anyways fact of the matter is he either had AQ,AK or pockets. I was still sitting on 1.8k worh of chips so I folded. blinds are 50/100 at this stage.
Very next hand I get pocket 55s of the button. I raise standard 3bb..
BB who also has very similar stats to the previous guy iirc I think he was 7/7.. I didn't put him on pockets just a high ace so I call..
He shows AJ and wins the flip.
Now.. I know the 55 call I made was questionable perhaps why risk my whole stack on a hand that can easily be beaten.. way I saw it was this, whole table was very much shove or fold, a flip had to happen soon or later I coulda folded but what if a few hands later I had AQ again and someone shoves over the top ya know.. my whole perspective was well I'd rather bank on a nice stack to sit on with room to breathe rather than push/fold my way to the money and even if I was going well.. as I find my bubble play very strong.. very good chance I could get sucked out on in the process.. I.E I have AK, with 6-8BBS shove, someone calls with QJ and gets lucky and so on...
So yeah just asking what others would do and when do you start to take flips and was my call with the 55s a good or a bad thing.. sure its a flip but I always knew it was 50/50 and did never at one point think he had me dominated pre which proved to be true he just got lucky on the flip.
