Am at the stage where it's become survival and have to let go of everything? bb was 29/21 7-9 handed and only a couple hands on him shorter handed but those figures struck me as someone who may call light.

Poker Stars $15+$1 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t300/t600 Blinds + t50 - 5 players

BB: t9995 M = 8.69
UTG: t5990 M = 5.21
CO: t5700 M = 4.96
BTN: t2175 M = 1.89
Hero (SB): t3140 M = 2.73

Pre Flop: (t1150) Hero is SB with 4 7
3 folds Hero



I folded then couple hands later there's this. Probly got the best hand at the table and if any bb survives I'm next to hit bb. Horrible scenario.

H1, BTN is too short to consider shoving IMO and BB won't be folding **** all.

H2, Whoops, misread that. Errg...I'm unsure on this one. Half of me wants to limp here, which is making me puke. I'm folding, hoping BB gets knocked out and BTN hits BB first and we can squeak a 3rd.

where did 1600 of your stack go? 18 man payout is pretty flat isn't it? I prob just minraise and take it from there.

Soz it wasn't a "couple" hands later it was an orbit or so later.

I thought about limping but sb was shoving over with everything, an annoying low ROI reg.

How I got so low tho? Well prior to the 74s this was my last opportunity before then, just didn't fancy it

BTN: 9,320
SB: 5,515

Pre-Flop: (750) 9 Q dealt to Hero (CO)

Hand 1 is obviously read dependent, given his stats I guess it's a fold, it's close though....

Hand 2, seems like shoving would be disastrous, limping is possible but I don't think it's optimal for this hand given we can fold out BTN during the times BB happens to double
