Middle stages of the tournament. The big stack is a complete donkey. Literally went all in 7 straight hands and won 2 with T6o and K2.
Is this an easy laydown?

fold preflop. As played, id do the same thing. However, its very important not to play these kinds of hands.

oh, and the samplehandboard is one thread below this one, next time, post your hand there;).

I don't really dislike that Hand here. The stack is rather healthy, he is getting roughly 4:1 on a call und since SB and BB will most likely be in the Hand now too he has an equity that should suffice against 4 random hands...


from the button or maybe the cutoff (depending on table image and reads) it's a raising hand, but i wouldn't limp personally though i understand the logic is similar to that of pocket pairs, with implied odds being at the heart.


even low pp should be folded here imo, since your implied odds arent that great. Your stack is big, but theirs isn't. I think you shouldn't limp any hand on this blindlevel, with those stacks at the table.

avg. stack is 25-30bb, so that makes this limping in with shorties, which is always bad imo. The way to win chips in this phase of the tournament is playing aggressive, win small pots, and stay out of big ones. Play for folding equity/first in vigorish here imo.

#2, but I really really hate the shove here, because he showed a lot of thrength, and I only have to call him because he is a bit short and could hold all kind of draws, if he had some more chips I would love to fold.
