I am not playing tournament to mincash. BUT I also wouldnt call it playing to win with mindset "all or nothing". I play to get as far as possible in every tournament.
Back to that situation. I shoved, got call with 1010 and got eliminated. My opinion is that I made mistake there. I think I should:
- open with standard raise
- fold to reraise preflop.
- If missed flop check-fold
- If I hit then put chips in.
Simply because If I get reraised preflop I am just coinfliping many times in this spot or I am even worse against AA,KK. And the less coinflips the better.
If I raise and get call and miss I still have 10BB left (66% ?). If I raise get call and will hit, I will get on 16-26BB (33% ?). Or I can also steal blinds. I will get eliminated in minimum cases when we both will hit big
hands.
If I shove preflop I will:
- steal blinds more often than by raise. But its not that big number.
- make double up. Considering calling ranges in this spot I wouldnt count more than 60% of the times when get 1 call.
- get eliminated 40% of the times when get 1 call.
- split in minimum cases.
