re: Poker & $Freeroll NLHE MTT: All-in vs ChipLeader
Preflop
This is a spot, where its very disadvantageous for you to get involved with the chip leader due to ICM concerns. So unless he has a very high VPIP, I kind of lean towards just folding here rather than going for the isolation raise. I am pretty much never limping behind with ATo, so if you are going to get involved, I like the isolation raise, and size is also fine.
Flop
You flopped top pair top kicker, and the stack to pot ratio (SPR) is a little over 3. This is a spot, where you should be happy to play for all the chips. Of course you will sometimes be behind to a set or some weird two pair, he should not have played, but he can also have a bunch of different draws, and he can have top pair with a worse kicker. You put yourself into this spot by getting involved with him preflop, and if it results in you busting, so be it.
