I'd appreciate any thoughts on a situation from a few days ago that has been bugging me:
45 player SnG, 25ish players left, my stack is 4.5K, blinds at 150/300. No particular information on the villains involved.
UTG (5k) limps. MP1 has been nursing their 700 chips for many hands, they shove. It folds to me on the button with AQo, I shove to isolate the SS. Blinds fold and UTG calls. Players show: UTG KK, MP1 J8s, Hero AQo.
Whilst I was quite happy to take my chances with the small stack to win a 1.5K pot I was horrified to see the call from UTG, and more so when I saw their cards. So, is this isolating play worth it when I didn't have to get involved as I was in a comfortable position in the tournament?
