Bronze Level
During a weekend was playing 150 euros re-entry tournament, 174 entries, 18 players in the money.
21 players left, I am BB, with just 8 BB left, BB also put ante 1BB. Short stack from UTG+2 with 11 BB is all-in, SB with 5.5BB calls and I decided to call with AK of. Was that a mistake?
Pros and cons for my decision. Knowing the range of both players, i am sure that they will push with any pocket pair, any ace and any two face cards, and I have a super premium hand. Next level is in 8 minutes, so will have, if fold, something like 14 hands on 3 tables to avoid being a bubble. If I had folded, I am sure that I would be in the money, but with almost no chance for going deeper, just for 18. place. If I win will have almost average stack and a chance for final table, but losing the tournament life if not. Whatever they have, I am against 4 cards, but with a chance to eliminate direct opponent and to left another one with only 4BB. If I fold, and SB win the hand, I am the shortest stack.
First aggressor had JQ of diamonds, SB AK of, me also, board was J34 T T and i finished on 20. position.
I am still sure that I made good call, almost all the cons came from my friend and his main argument was that i needed to cash in first and than if I made something it`s ok if not I would still have 350 euros.
