Hey guys, I just wanted to check in on this hand that I played. I had ATs UTG and I folded. The reason being was it felt like it was too risky to jam UTG here, when I am 5th out of 6th place. Raising 2x didn't seem right as any of the bigger stacks could have played in position to force me out or 3bet me preflop to put pressure on me.
The pay bump was almost $200 so I just didn't want to bust here. Is this a mistake in my thought process. The payouts were as follow:
1 - $2,420
2 - $1,720
3 - $1,300
4 - $880
5 - $620
6 - $450
