$8.80 NLHE MTT Rebuy: A10 short stacked vs chip leader

[momfight]

I'm short stacked mid way through this tourney. I come up against a big stack and I have A10 I figure he will just call whatever I do anyway and I'm on the button. Correct move? Or would you have waited for better cards before shoving?

Overall I wasn't that happy with the way I played. I got some good cards early on and built a nice size stack but couldnt build on my lead as I got caught squeezing a couple of times and was called down which ruined my table image. eventually the blinds crept up on me. I feel pretty sad right now.

He was chip leader at my table anyway

 

[BlueNowhere]

I think it's fine

 

[duggs]

thats fine

nothing wrong with it, he limped called behind and hit.

don't show results when you post as well, might get some obscured answers because of.

 

[duggs]

Im not sure why you question this play if he is snapping you off with J9?

 

[momfight]

Thanks for the replies. I guess I wondered if you guys would have waited around for a better spot to shove.

 

[duggs]

thats a great spot,

 

[BlueNowhere]

You won't get a much better spot than that,

 

[BEERM4N]

well played unlucky. you got him to stack off with exactly what you wanted.
