It is late in a live tournament with a $300 buy-in. Top 63 get paid and the next pay jump is just hit with 12 more to go before the next pay jump. The table is 8 handed, playing very tight and I just folded 13 hands waiting to push my once 10 BBs which are now 8 BBs and getting ready to be 7.
I am UTG, with the tournament leader on my right with over 100 BBs. I get A5s and shove. It folds to the BB who calls with 55, he holds and I am out in 45 after 9 hours of play.
I am normally a cash player and this is my first $300 tournament. A5s is very marginal UTG, but I figured I won't make the next pay jump and it is best to double early.
Not being results oriented, was it a good, bad or so so play to shove A5s UTG?
