So i find myself in the Big Blind holding a hand i know has the chip leader(whos been playing like a donk and got lucky several times beaten). I push all-in to re-steal her min raise. Would i have been better off not engaging the chip leader or was i correct to take a stab at doubling up and trying to win the tourney?

10 minutes after this there were 14 players left on 2 tables and i would have been chip leader had i won this hand. The blinds were due to go up to 200/400 shortly after this hand was played

Any suggestions welcome..........cheers......... ;-)

Hi GeneralZod,

I assume this is a normal payout structure? As in, it isn't a satellite to anything right?

If so, this hand looks good, unlucky.

Hi Chenny, This tournament was paid down to 8th place, it wasn`t a satellite or anything. I thought calling and check folding the flop was a define no-no.

Ipoker can be pretty sick at times and its a perfect site for donks to play on

Just think you put your money in ahead 60%/40% and there not much else you can do , your way off the money and even so need to look to finish in top 3 , to 3x raise is being pot commited so pushing is better , NH just unlucky

If it's a standard payout structure, this means we are aiming for first. Which means we cannot ever pass up on opportunities like this. So all-in all, nice hand!
