I have doubts with this hand. I thought a lot and finally called. I strongly considered to shove here. Is it the best option having 24 bb? I dont have any reading. I think calling is a bad choice, Isn't it?

3 folds, Izzyman03 raises to 2,400, 2 folds, Rainmy ???

shove or fold
readless (and vs most) leaning towards a shove

Removing flatting as a viable option isn't the best idea. In this hand tho, we need to consider things like

- oppnt stack
- his potential range
- OUR POSITION (99 oop here is difficult depending on experience level, etc)
- other factors

fold seems ok, but so does shove. i want to know more about raiser.

is a 88/99+ AQo AJs range suitable in this situation?

Having a chance to double to 40k in these turbos means you can play tight and still finish in top 3. If you bust then so what, load another. If he folds then sweet!

Playing tight with 40k stack at 800bb is boring! Get ur stack to work!

Hoe deep in the tournament are you? How is the OR playing? Without reads its either a shove or fold. I would be shoving more then i would be folding, pay-out is ussually so top heavy that a big stack would give you a bigger edge and the chips gained will longterm be worth more then playing a shallow stack and playing short in the later stages. Thats my personal view.

The problem with having a stack is getting it to work vs a bunch of 6-10bb opponents isn't easy as you have to goto showdown with any one of them. Being CL in a 180m turbo isn't that big an advantage, the rebuys are better for it.
