I'm holding KTo late in a turbo tournament. Stacks are something like

Hero/BB
7700

Maniac/SB
5300

semi-tight/Passive / Dealer
2500

or thereabouts, blinds are at 300/600. Dealer limps in leaving him at 1900. SB folds. I'm thinking to take a chance here, as I put him on a LARGE range (he's getting blinded out), so I push minraise with KTo. I'm thinking he'll either call or raise as he's VERY shortstacked, compared to blinds.

My table image at this point is loose/aggressive and clearly I'm chip leader at this point.

He pushes All-In and I call him.

Ends up being KTo vs QJo, my KT holds up and I win the pot.

Several hands later I win the tournament.

In retrospect I'm thinking perhaps I shouldnt've pushed with KT against a limper, should've just seen a free flop taken it from there, but then again he did have position on me, would be an easy task to bluff his way out on a good majority of hands etc.. thoughts?

extra info: single table $3+.3 turbo

imo his initial limp was incorrect, he should have pushed all in, but your raise/call was fine. he gets dealt about 7 more hands if he folds this one, this must make him quite desperate.

Hi chenny8888!

A minraise is definitely wrong here. He has less than 4BB left. Simply push him all-in. As a chipleader you have to pressure the short stacks.

Good luck at the tables!

i agree with PUScHkin. Defo PUSH him. miniraise could bring you into a scary place on the flop.
