hi there.
this is my first hand here, so sorry if anything's wrong. i'm playing at pokertime, so my hand history doesn't seem to be compatible with the hand converter, that's why i didn't use it actually.
so.
it was $3+.30 6max tourney, nine people remainded. i was an average stack with $105,000. prizes were like this - 10th place was for $25, 9th was for $39, while 1st was for $375. blinds were 4,000/8,000. in this hand, i was dealt 7h5h in the cut-off. while folded to me, i decided to steal the blinds (hadn't been much active too much recently, so i could afford it). i actually hadn't min-raised for some time, so i felt like not-comitting too many chips with my hand was the right choice. min-raises also had some kind of respect here. everyobody folded to big blind (with a little bit smaller stack of $85,000), who actually, after some time, called. the big blind played kind of straightforward poker.
with all the antes and small blind, the pot was 19,500.
the flop went Jh, Qh, 7c.
cool, i said to me. and then, the big blind decided to put his entire stack in the middle.his hand was almost for sure a top pair, probably with a good kicker (or maaaybeee flush draw, not much probable though). not better than that. for me, it was 76,000 to call. if i called and lost, i would have only 20,000 left (like 3M). if i called and won, i would have like 200,000 and would become the chipleader of the tourney. now, with almost 100,000, i still was able to play some poker, but would feel definitely much more comfortable having kind of bigger stack...
so, what's the right play here?
thanks for advices
(well, i actually reflexively called, the board blanked and then i ended 8th for $39)
