I am 56 years old. Playing a MTT with a field of 2200. We are down to 3 people. First place = $80,000
Second = $50,000
Third = $42,000

Big stack has around 12,000,000 an has very little experience. (Shoved earlier oop pre with A-9 off)
Second stack has around 7,000,000
And, I have around 5,000,000.

When we got down to 3 people I got uber aggressive with a 2,000,000 stack and built it up pretty quickly.

Now, it's 5am and I am pretty tired after three straight days of playing. And 14 hours of play today. So, I'm not sure if this was a fatigue move or a good move.

I limp in with A-8 off. Get raised. I shove. He snap calls.

Good move? Bad move?

BTW: The A-9 shove earlier was with a full table.

Need to know blinds and antes and positions to know the answer to this. Also, it should be in a tournament forum, not a cash game one, so if you could tell me the buy-in, I'll move it tot he appropriate forum.

If you had 12BBs or less, I love the shove and hate the limp. I'd be open-shoving. More gets very "it depends," but I'm never open limping three-handed. Always coming in for a raise here.

LOL @ limping A8o when you're the shortstack at a final table.
Also, the fact that you are not right off the bat telling us what the blind levels/antes/positions are is very telling.
