Silver Level
America's Cardroom - $1.50 Regular 9-Max - Level 4 (50/100) - No Limit Holdem
UTG (t710)
MP (t3,070)
Hero (BTN) (t3,395)
SB (t1,005)
BB (t5,170)
SB posts the small blind of t50
BB posts the big blind of t100
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Ks][As]
UTG folds, MP folds, Hero raises to t250, SB folds, BB raises to t1,300, Hero folds
ICM is obviously a serious concern here as there are two very short stacks and 3 spots pay. The trouble here is that BB can shove with ATC if he's a competent player knowing that we basically can't call without AA. For that reason I thought about just open folding to avoid this situation, but I didn't think BB was a particularly strong player so I decided to open. Thoughts on this spot?
