I played this tournament horribly, went from top 60 to be blinded away.

At this point only 140 players left from 2300players, ITM approx 100usd, I knew raiser was strong wery likely had AJ+ or JJ+

however at this point I had been blinded away from 63k to 35k, If I fold and wait I get into top 125 and 109usd or top 90 and 125usd. I was shocked how fast ppl started drop at this point when I busted should have folded and tried finish in top 20 and 300+ usd, although it is abit difficult if I get trash and loose 7k blinds in coming hands :(

OR I could gamble and suckout double up and still fight for the usd wery big prizes prizes.

how is this play +ev -ev wise, I'm not devastated to not get 125usd but maybe my chances are better to fold and try bluff/steal or get good hand and double up.

the payout is not enormous difference but at top 20 it almost doubles the prizes and top 10 start go from 800 to 14k usd.

I don't like this for 2 reasons... 1 you have 0 FE against UTG... 2 there are still sooo many players to act that could wake up with a hand that crushes you...

I personally wait for a better spot... if you know villain to openraise wide from UTG then maybe gamble... but I just don't think his range is wide enough to make this push profitable...

I would push 1st in though quite happily though...

I agree with this. Sure u have 6BB only, but UTG has 30BB... what range does he raise from UTG? Pretty tight IMO. So therefore I instamuck with ATo.
