Hello,

I'm in no way an experienced poker player. I've been playing poker casually for a 3-4 years. I decided to try to take it more serious starting 2 months ago and invested in HM2.

Personally I think I played this tourney very well overall (except for this hand that cost me my tournament life) and this was my 3rd final table in a tourney with more than 1000+ participants, so my final table experience with payjumps and ICM isn't that good.

I would really appreciate your thoughts and advice on what to do next time so i can learn and get better.
What pocket pairs or any other hand would be ok to reshove in this exact situation?

Regards, from a player that has a lot to learn...

there you go

I made the same mistake with 66 utg recently. Small pairs are just too risky from early position. You might get it through and steal the blinds but you'll never be happy if you get called as you'll always be just a small fav at best.

I think from utg+1 I would want 88+ and maybe even 99+.

You're the man!

I think the shove is fine, particularly with the limp that makes the pot even juicier to try and steal.

Dude, he has 13 BB here. Isn't this an Ok shove in this spot? I wouldn't fold 66s here with 13 BB. Sometimes you have to go go for it, and this is one of the spots i think.

Yeah I agree here, we have 13 BB's, maybe its marginal/a close spot but I would for sure push here.

Na not on the final table. I fold this. Even though we're the shortest stack I feel we have just about enough with 13BB to maybe wait a little longer.

Thanks for the replies guys! Really appreciate it!

How about the payjumps? Is that something I should consider in this spot?

Would he call me if he limped with 2's up to 5's? If not, doesn't that make it a bad play? It seems like I'm only going to be called by better hands or at best a flip. And also it feels like it could be a trap as well with KK or AA, I've seen that play a few times.

What do you guys think?

tbh I think its a REALLY close spot. Maybe a nitty fold is best for ICM considerations, but i'm not sure. I would have done the same in your spots.

Definitely not an ICM shove.

V's stats are not those of a habitual limper - hard to be sure about the range but I'm not sure we're ahead - I would also be worried about the trapping-with-a-monster play

A fold for me

As far as pay jumps go, you are currently in last place so you dont have to worry about ICM and pay jumps that much. If there was a player with like 7bb and blinds were about to hit him, that would be a completely different story.

When I put this in icimizer, its clear fold. You can actually shove here only JJ+ and AK. But how many of us would fold TT or AQ here

This is super hard spot and not many people know, what to do here. Me included. Without experiencing tens and maybe hundreds of final tables, you wont know what to do so dont beat yourself over it

Yesterday I talked to a friend of mine who has won a lot of big tourneys. He told me that he would even consider folding 10's but probably not. So basically 1010+ or AK.

you're in too early of a position and with an action before its a pretty easy fold.
