Context: $50+$5 buy-in $50,000 (1st just under $14K)
I made it all the way to top 20 with either cheap lead or close to it. I then went completely card dead. I mean nothing even playable or even good enough I felt OK to bluff with. I still made it to 10th (just short of final table). Just before I went out (on a stupid move on my part) I had approx. 188,000 chips. Chip leader was 800K+, average chips stack was around $600K, and blinds just went up to 6000/12000/ant at 1200 (I think). What is the worst hand you'd play while card dead + blinds increasing + ect. ect.
I ended up going out on this: someone raising to 36,000, I went all in for 188,000 with 78s. I know it wasn't a good hand, but I just didn't know what to do, I was going to get blinded out of the tournament if I didn't make a move. I was hoping he'd fold, but did not.
Again my original question - worst hand that you'd play in this situation?
