Silver Level
It’s Saturday and I’m in a live $210 deep stack tournament with 30 minute levels at my local casino. Starting stacks are 35K. The Blinds are 4000 - 2000 with a 400 chip ante and I have been on a rush and have about 225K.
This hand occurs right at the end of Level 12, just before the dinner break. The level expires during this hand and everyone is folding and leaving at the same time. I’m in the big blind and the small blind moves all-in for about 50K. I find red 88.
The small blind is a very good player and one that I respect immensely; but that’s a double edged sword as I know he is capable of that move with absolutely anything. To hell with it, I fold and go on break, he shows J 4 off suit trying to tilt me I guess.
The tilt thing didn’t’ work, I knew at best we were racing and I was sure I had the best hand. But, the break is upon us and I have no interest in getting involved for 20% of my stack. I probably should have called, and I would have in a lot of situations, but I can keep 225K and go into the dinner break by folding – of course, that’s exactly how he wants me to think about it too!
I probably should have called but I have read before that it’s best just to go on break in these situations. I don’t know; thoughts?
