Hey guys I am heads up in the 15k guaranteed. First place gets 3225 second gets 1987.. What do you think about this hand.. My thoughts are this play is pretty bad by me and I should have probably min raised then folded to a shove.Thoughts?

This is a fine shove with stacks this short, unless you feel you can outplay your opponent and want to have a 100% limping strategy.

Pretty much. With a 2-1 chip lead and only 35 bigs in play, this has to be a shove.

There isn’t much room to outplay opponents when you’re that short, so you need to take each +ev shove.

Having a r/fold at these stacks is asinine.

Welcome to the forums! We def encourage results-oriented posting as this is a "safe place" with a lot of sympathetic ears.

I had a similar spot where HU with a same stacks where i minopened AA and flop came A23ddd...i check called down and BB had 54dd. I just knew i shoulda just shipped it pre for 12bbs eff. I also coulda just r/f pre (to avoid variance) bc i knew i had a big edge on this guy HU.

(still bothers me to this day

your QTo jam is totally fine - 54.4%, 22+ Kx+ Q2s+ Q8o+ J4s+ J8o+ T5s+ T8o+ 95s+ 98o 85s+ 87o 74s+ 64s+ 53s+ (11BB no ante jennifear)

although i think limping QT can be good, given that all better V hands jam pre and (nearly) all worse V hands see a flop with significant RIO v QTo

I like the shove here. You may get villain to fold some KXo hands and maybe some small PP's like 22-44. Who knows?

Also you probably have > 40% equity against villain's calling range here so even when called you win the tourney 40%+ ~33% remaining chance if you lose the hand.

Tough break but wp.
