Sorry in advance, as I don't have PT4 or HM2 to convert the hand for me...tips on how to convert hands from Bovada?

Anyway.

There are 130ish people left in Bovada's nightly $50 BI $30k GTD. 81 get paid

Blinds are 60/300/600

Hero has $5409 in the BB and is dealt KdJs

UTG+2 ($45k+ stack) opens to $1320

HJ shoves for $3620

CU reshoves for $5300

Now to us.....Fold and find a better spot with our remaining 8BB?

Again. Sorry for the hand history......

obvious fold--would you have posted this irrespective of board runout?

(good luck if you're still in it. i busted in 21st tonight and 12th 4 days ago so i'm simultaneously running quite well and running quite frustratingly.)

Although you might be getting 2:1, you are so likely to be dominated, not worth calling with KJ. MAYBE 89s I'd call, but that's super ambitious.

The $55, you can even survive with even <5bb although not ideal. I've ran deep late regging multiple times so don't risk taking marginal spots with 8bb imo. You still have some fold equity.

Yes I would have posted this regardless of results.

Would it be correct/ok to reshove with KJo if the cutoff folds?

And I ended up finishing 61st....chipped up to a little above avg. then got KK<TT for all but like 2BB and was out a couple hands later.

Sorry to use OP's post. But, is it worth for non Americans play on smaller softwares like bovada? I used to play a long time ago on cake, bodog.

If you're an absolute crusher, sure. MTTs on Bovada are ridiculously tough. I trained, studied, got coaching, and meditated 4 hours a day under a waterfall (akin to a Tibetan monk) to achieve what turns out to be a very marginal ROI% post-rake.

Usually with action like that KJ will be blocked by other hands and play a whole lot worse. Clear fold.

obvious fold.. interesting to note if you fold the hand the board will consist of different cards than if you called that hand.. so if you had called you might not necessarily have hit the king.. learnt this from epiphany77 in one of his training vids... its good to keep in mind to keep yourself from going on tilt..

I would fold 100% of the time in this spot and find a better spot where I can get it in first. You still have enough fold equity for now, but I wouldn't wait to much longer. He says <5bb, but I say don't get below 7bb so your fold equity is stronger. But it is definitely a fold here.
