This is obviously a MTT, and to me the way I played this hand would depend on the prize structure.

With there being a limper, I think at best your in a coinflip with the sb. Therefore I need to assess whether its worth taking a flip at this stage of the tournament. So IMO the prize layout, and players left is a huge factor.

Aye but those guys were limping in a lot, it was 180 people tournament, and maybe 60 left or so.

Hi Njord41, because this is an MTT (where both you and the opponents should be playing quite loose), the hand looks good. Well played and unlucky.

Chenny, if you were close to the bubble are you folding here? or maybe calling instead?

Thx

hello cannell555,

If we're close to the bubble, thats even moreso a reason to push here. Why would you fold on the bubble? In an mtt i would try to get on the FT, not just itm.
