What would you do?

I played 40$ PokerOwned free roll, 20 payers remains and 70 was registred total, blindas are 200/400 i have 2000chips and the big blind is on me, and am holding 10 10. Guy on early mid position rase 1000, and a guy on late mid positon do all in 5000. Because last 20 hands was like 3 8, 2 J etc for me i decide that its last time to take some chips since i lost many by blinds + i holding 10, 10. Othur guys holding A Q, and J J - flop 3 2 A Q Q and guy win with full house, and share with other guy because he had only 2000chips.

Should i fold and hope i get same or better cards in next few hands because i had 2 rase befor me or i mby rase or go all in with weaker hand when non of other players folow?

No you did exactly what was correct in this spot, with 5 BB's you are looking to get your chips into the pot with nearly any 2 cards and 10 10 is too strong to ever fold in this spot.

BB, short stacked, 2 raises in front of me. If it were me, and it may not be the right play, I would fold. The 2 raises in front of me says I am behind already. I would wait for a better hand.

Insta-call. With such a small stack, waiting for a better hand is too weak to consider. How many deals do you have to get a better hand before you're in the BB and have to put in 20% of your chips? It's not great in terms of your odds of winning that the pot will be 3-way, but otoh, that means you triple up if you do win.

I'm never folding here, you have a strong hand with very few chips left.

With only 5 BBs left and already 20% of your stack in on the BB, no chance you can fold TT here. You're not going to get a better opportunity to triple up. TT is already in the top 3% of starting hands, how can you possible say you'd wait for a better hand, Fold 10 more hands and you'll be under 2 BBs left in your stack!!! And you're not going to be stealing any BBs with 3.5 BBs left so you're going to have to win a showdown at some point anyway. This is a no brainer snap call. Its unfortunate he ran into JJ but this could have just has easily been AQ and 99 or AK and AQ he was up against and would have been a close to 50% to triple up. Fold a few more hands and you tournament is over anyway, you'd have to get a big hand and double up just to get back to the 5 BB situation you are in now and then you're still in bad shape.

Fold.

I would instant all in there, but then again i am not a pro, but with the blinds that high you are best to push all in

you cant fold there 10-10 ever with 20 bb im pushing and hoping.

You should've folded because you lost ldo.

Here is a VERY non "scientific" opinion.

I happen to think that there is a "pattern" to the way MTT games - "luck" seems to act. Often I found after a long stream of being card dead - that the first hand - real good hand even - that I got found a way to lose for me.( ie KK lost to 78 - we all know what I mean. )
What I am trying to say - is aside from the logical action - there is also the action that your gut tells you to do. It it may not be such a bad adviser.

you really dont have any other choice..depending on how many people is sitting with the blinds that high you would of got blinded out quickly...

Try this for a bit. Stop looking for a reason to call. Start looking for a reason to fold.

Cali???? Is that you??? Welcome back man .

Well let's see: The early position bettor had a decent enough hand to raise from early position, probably assign him at pairs, or high suits. Most likely, you have him marginally beat. The raiser goes all-in with an even better holding, going by Sklansky's "Gap concept". Now you in the BB with only 5BBs to go, are an underdog against the early position player and the late position player, combined. Tough spot to be in. I'd look at tourney position in this case. You're at the bubble, short stacked, and at an inflection point. Me... all that action in front of me tells me I might be marginally beat. I'd make this call half the time and fold the other half because I know I will triple up when I do beat the odds.

And this is coming from you?

its deffinately all in for me, i think anyone who folds here has a leak in their game, if you have more chips you might be able to fold if they were both really nitty, but with such a low stack, on the bb its a fist pump shove kick slap chinese burn all in

It's 50/50, we have 5bb and a decent pp so shoving pre is correct, we have two raisers ahead of us so our pp is most likely dominated by at-least one raiser so folding here can be correct but bad, if we fold we must shove ATC from here on out no matter what.

Note: As to what would I do, I would call...what's the worst that could happen...if I lose Im looking for the next tourney and knowing I ended this one on a good note.

It's a $40 freeroll. A raise could easily be A2s or 68s.

Oh yeah that's true! I overlooked the fact that this was a freeroll.

I wouldn't be too comfortable but at the end of the day, in your situation, its an auto call for me.

They are playing face cards...the 10 comes

All in
