I am not sure if this play was dumb or inspired.
In a MTT last night I was on the button with KK with a very short stack and we were pretty well on the bubble. I am sure you know where this is going! UTG raises 3BB, MP calls, the cutoff (big stack, LAG) reraises to 6BB putting me all in if I call. I fold.
My thinking was that it seemed very likely the other two would call and since they were both also short stacked they were effectively all in. I reckon I am favourite to win but it is more likely that I will lose. They all go all in and show AQo, 88, KJs which would have put my kings at 45% to win. I can't remember the board exactly but a small stack won, knocking out the other and someone must have busted on another table because the bubble burst. If I'd stayed in I would have won but as it was I got paid and manage to creep up a few more pay grades before going out.
So, dumb or genius?
