Hi!

There are 11 players remaining, Hero is the 11th ;).

18th-9th $8.3
8th -> 1st place paid $12 -> $216 (approximately)

Two limps, AQo on hand, M 6.5

Every body folds: Hero gets -> limps + blinds + ante ~ 6500 and moves to 8-9th position -> +$6 ($14)

Hero plays coinflip: lost and and gets $8, or gets to 30k chips - approx. 4th position ~ +$40 ($48 total) -> average gain $20

Hero dominates: 70/30 -> lost $8, wins approx +$40 ($48 total), average gain $28

Hero is dominated (30/70) - > lost $8, wins approx +$40 ($48 total), average gain $12

It seems +$EV so easy push?

I don't know if the calculations are correct , but I think it's an easy push with AQo , utg doesn't have to be trapping all the time + you are almost at the red M zone, and they will just fold very often and if someone call (maybe utg has something like 88-TT) you are in decent shape.

I agree, easy push.
In these mtts, being ITM doesnt count for much unless you make top 3-5.


Easy push. I would do it even with AJ


yea you have to limpers.
an UTG limp always smells like a trap. but most of the time its just a low pair or KQ or crappy shit :P

so AQ is far beyond my range for this play.
good move. good spot. good hand.

Yep I agree with this. I'm probably pushing as bad as A9s here (definitely ATs)
