MTT was this the correct play???

[Ronaldadio]

I`m going through one of those "I always pick `em" phases!!!

Can you guys have a look at this hand and tell me if you think I made the correct decision?

I had been getting pushed around by this guy for the past 4 BB, he raised on every occasion and I didnt have a hand to go to war with.

It was a big tourny - 1108 entries - but to get well into the money I could not hang around. The stats will tell u the various chip stacks.

The only questions are, should I have waited and folded, and should I have called his all in? Give me points out of 10 for how I played this one. If u have any further questions please let me know.

Thanks guys

This is a pretty tough call for sure, based on your chip stack in relation to the blinds and the rest of the table, it looked like you were pretty short stacked compared to everyone else. But since the you were well under 10 BB's you were right, you only had one move, pushing in. I think this was the correct play, the guy was pushing you around and you decided to play back at him, but you just got a little unlucky because he actually had a hand this time that had you covered. A-10 suited definitely would look pretty good to me too if I was in your position, short stacked and looking to take a stand/make a move in the tourney, just a little unfortunate thats what he had.

3 out of 10. I know you were the lower stack at the table, but you probably should have folded to his raise. Even though you feel he has pushed you around the past 4 BB's you are not in the blind in the current hand so you have no money already invested in the pot. I would also add that if you were to raise Rollinfish then you should have pushed all in. You were less than 10 BB's and if you think that you are ahead preflop then an all in would have been the correct move trying to double up.

What on earth is the logic behind the min reraise? Just push or fold.
