Poker Stars $2.02+$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

UTG+2: t4620
MP1: t4520
MP2: t18824
CO: t7245
BTN: t5370
SB: t7900
BB: t11690
Hero (UTG): t4161
UTG+1: t30368

Pre Flop: Hero is UTG with 7

Hero raises to t600, 3 folds, MP2 raises to t1820, 4 folds, Hero ???

After his 3-bet, villain writes in chat "I call all-in", which I interpret to mean he has a good, but vulnerable hand. So, do you fold or do you shove?

If this is a 2/180 I snap shove and fire up another. You'll see AT+ often enough.

His chat could mean anything.

This is the 2x promo tourney, not a 2/180, and has 15 minute levels. We are out of the rebuy period (though it is impossibly to know who has re bought and who hasn't).

I fold as well, I don't mind the raise UTG since it is good to mix it up and stuff but I don't think we are ahead often enough to call all in with 77.

I'd fold though there is a good chance this guy has AK.

And to whoever suggested limping with 77 UTG with 20 BB's - ugh. I'd rather fold.

its a $2 mtts im not building a pot with 77 here when 37723872 ppl are usually going to call behind me and I have to check fold to 7 other players when I miss my set 1/8 times or 1/7 w/e

besides they wouldnt understand if he were mixing it up...they only think about their hand
