OK, maybe not the worst, but this was pretty dang bad.
Playing in the APS Quarterfinal, two people go out in one hand on my table and we get moved to the final table. We're down to 8 players. Seven players get tickets ($48), the 8th gets $7. We arrive at the table middle of the way through the hand and the BB thinks about it on their time-bank. So, there's no excuse that they didn't know what the real situation was.
Blinds are 200/400 with a 40 ante.
SB: 1,163 (2.9xbb) M = 1.45
BB: 13,014 (32.5xbb) M = 16.27
UTG: 6,280 (15.7xbb) M = 7.85
CO: 7,865 (19.7xbb) M = 9.83
BTN: 11,390 (28.5xbb) M = 14.24
Players ante (40x5)
SB posts 200
BB posts 400
Pre-Flop: [Pot 800]
3 folds, SB raises to 1,123, BB has to call 723 more, BB thinks for 20 seconds, folds.
BB Chat: "Don't want to risk doubling him up."
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Yeah, if BB called and won, tournament is over and we all get tickets. If he called and lost, SB has 2,446 chips (6xbb and M<2.7). As it was, SB ends up with 1,723 with no risk (4.3xbb and M~1.9)
I am not normally a tournament player, but that was a REALLY bad fold. It's not like calling and losing was going to cripple the BB, nor was it going to give the SB any better placement in the tournament (everyone who moved from my table had more than the CO).
Didn't matter too much. SB ends up going broke a few hands later. It was still amazingly bad.
