This is the final table of 27 person S&G. I couldn't resist calling this but of course I honestly wonder if it was such a good idea in hindsight. Any insight please?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (5 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB (t2744)
UTG (t1205)
MP (t14076)
Hero (t11082)
SB (t11393)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8

, 6

.
1 fold, MP calls t600, Hero calls t600, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t2300) 9

, 8

, 7

(4 players)
SB checks, BB bets t2094 (All-In), MP folds, Hero calls t2094, SB folds.

Turn: (t6488) 3

(2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t6488) 5

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t6488

flop is fine (shoving is better but there's not a huge difference)

but definitely fold preflop.

You're too short to call, but I love a push there if the limper has been anything but rock-tight and/or has laid down limps to raises in the recent past (and even more so if you have a reasonably sane image). If his limp was unusual, though, I'd be wary of it and just fold. Calling here on 18.5 BBs is just spewing.

With the BB and UTG so short, there are serious money implications here and the other two big stacks would need very big hands to call.

i think limping w/ 18bbs is less spewy than shoving 18bbs.

pf is a little better than had you open limped/been the only limper
but because the dude in front of you limped it doesnt make it that bad

flop is fine. shorty is pushing a lot there
