I'm new to DON's so bear with me if this is extremely straight-forward.


Poker Stars $5.00+$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t125/t250 Blinds + t25 - 8 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

UTG: t1655 M = 2.88
UTG+1: t2685 M = 4.67
MP1: t1440 M = 2.50
MP2: t540 M = 0.94
CO: t4505 M = 7.83
BTN: t2115 M = 3.68
SB: t160 M = 0.28
Hero (BB): t1900 M = 3.30

Pre Flop: (t575) Hero is BB with 8 9
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t250, 1 fold, MP2 calls t250, 2 folds, SB calls t10 all in, Hero checks

Flop: (t1085) 8 2 2 (4 players - 1 is all in)

Unfiltered stats through 46 hands (though my HUD wasn't working in-game at the time):
UTG+1: 43/11/10.0
MP2: 23/2/.5
SB (not like his stats matter): 12/5/-


I'm in decent shape chip-wise, but with 8 players still left I'm sure I'll end up needing some more chips at some point. Should I be betting here to try to secure my spot ITM, or is this a spot where we check it down with the others to get another elimination? SB winning this pot isn't TOO terrible, he would only have 740 so he's still in bad shape, but it's obviously not something we want to see happen. I also don't want to see MP2 win this pot, because he gets main and side pots if he wins, which gives him new life.

Like I said I'm new to DONs so bear with me if this is an extremely straightforward decision here. I tried to explain my thought process which led me to shoving as best as I could, forgot to add in though that even if I shove and everyone folds (which is what I wanted to have happen), I get ~300 from the side pot, so I'm profiting slightly even if SB has me beat. I ended up winning the hand and the game ended a few hands later, so I'm not being results oriented, but this was a spot where I think I could've cost myself the game.

I'll give this one bump because I'm still curious about it. Please feel free to completely berate me if shoving was horrible, I'm trying to learnnn
