Ah right, good questions...
A starting/re-buy stack is 20k chips, so I have more in my 17.5bb stack.
I was not planning to rebuy if I lost because I allotted for two bullets that day, and I was already on my second bullet.
One thing I had not considered was the sizes of the stacks on the other table. This was my first live tournament in quite some time, and first live PLO MTT period. I'm so used to online where information like that is readily available and displayed for you. So I spaced on gathering that info.
For a cash game, I agree with InTheFold, MarkD, and others that we'd rip it against this Villain. But I lean more towards your argument for this spot in an MTT, wolf...especially this spot...
If I call, I know I'm going to face a full pot cbet (15,200) on every flop--almost 70% of my remaining stack--so I don't really like that line.
Sure we can 3! gii, and I bet there's a decent chance we're even a 55-60% equity favorite. But do we really want to flip for our tournament life with 17.5bb this close to the money? I elected to fold, preserve my 17.5bb stack and wait for a cleaner spot.
Can we make a case for calling and deciding on the flop?
