$Freeroll NLHE MTT: Superbowl FR: How I went out in 8th place

[nabmom]

I'd like some input from more experienced tournament players about how I played this hand at the final table. My thought was that I was getting low in chips, the blinds were huge, and I needed to "go big or go home."

Was this shove correct given the blinds and the stacks?

Looks pretty standard to me, you've got 8 BBs, its 8 handed and 2 folds in front of you. I'm shoving without giving it a second thought. You lost the coin flip, it happens, don't sweat it.

 

[duggs]

seems fine to me, probably get it in a bit wider aswell

Std. Also don't post results in HA.

This is the correct play. I would be somewhat wary of doing this on the short stack's BB. You just have to realize that if you're called by anybody, you're going to lose a significant amount of time. The next pay jump would have to be life changing for me to consider doing anything else. I LOL'd when villain re-shoved, even though BB would have already been all-in to call you.

Seems like a pretty standard move.

Were there antes in this game?

Were there antes in this game?

yup antes were at 1000

Were there antes in this game?

Yes. I edited the Hand History since it had a line for each person paying the ante. I should have left it as is.

 

[baudib1]

push earlier than this

I've watched you play Deb. The one thing you don't need to do is let the right play shake you up. This is variance. You win you lose.

...but did you make the right play. Of course.

You got it girl. Relax.
