ok so tell me if my thinking is justified...
if i shove, i'm risking 19k to win 1700. so i didn't want to do that
obviously my hand is too good to fold blind vs blind, so i called
when villain shoves, there's now 3k in the pot + his hand range includes a lot of hands he's just playing scared with i have dominated, like ace rag, and 22 - 55, and even if he doesn't have one of these hands, the vast majority of the time he has 2 overcards that i'm a small favorite over and considering how top heavy this tourney is, it's not too bad of a gamble.
all good / makes sense? and if not i'd love to hear criticism. if people are going to say "just shove" please explain why it is better than this line due to the reasons above. thanks in advance
