final table answer

[SoulMan87]

Either allin or fold. Call is too risky because BB can go allin if he has premium hand. Whats more, we don't like to play it without position. So all depends on what we want to achieve. Maximize chance of 1st place (then I belive allin) or maximaze tha chance to end as 3-4th then fold.

Raise or all in are the only 2 options. You have to play to win and that takes being aggressive. Folding means that you are not willing to build your stack with a hand that can do decent. The GTO strategy says to do the raise. I have not learned ICM, but if you are normally aggressive, then that is the same with all hands.

I have 40 bb and a lot of game ahead.
77 with my stack would bring me more problems than a big return.
I prefer to wait for better situations, I have enough stack for this decision.

It'd help if you input the stack sizes of ALL of the players on the table.

I'd say >>.

at this stage of a tourney...with a healthy stack...your main aim is to ladder up...as safely as possible....and if you run good, you have a chance to make the top 3...and agood opportunity for the take down.

an important factor, is the buttons bet / steal %...how often have they made this play already at this ft..??

just in case the button has a strong hand...AQ+ and 88+...i wouldnt want to risk more than half my stack in a flip here. Even A8 sooted is a flip...

i would just call...the sb is actually a good position to do this here...you get a lot of info for your call...

if the bb jams and the button folds, you can call easily, and face a flip without damaging your stack too much. If the button jams, you can fold, not damage your stack, and hope the button ko's the bb and you ladder up.

Hi all!

Considering that you are for a few, you must have reliable readings of everyone present, so I would say act according to your perception of both the situation and the players involved

I agree with the comrade's comment ....
I also add, it seems to me that you have to play that pair that there is no risk of being left out.

Cheers

You are playing a final table in a $ 11 buyin online tournament, more than 5,000 registered and only 7 left. The guaranteed prize at the moment is one thousand dollars and with each position that goes up, the prize increases in the following proportion: 1000- 2200 - 3600 - 4800 - 6300 - 8500 - 10500

At the table there is a short stack player (in the Big Blind position) with only 7 BBs. We have approximately 40 BB's and are in the Small blind. The button has approx 26 BB's.

The action comes as follows:

Blinds 5k / 10k (ante 1k)
Table folds to Botao, which increases to 22k (260k stack). The big blind has only 70k of stack.
We have 77 in the Small blind (400k stack)

What is our action?

A) fold

B) Call

C) Raise

D) Raise all-in

Do not forget to justify the decision with the line of reasoning and the reasons for the decision!

You must call and wait BB and Button move. If BB call, see flop and make move according flop. If BB shove and Button call, call also and see flop. If Button reshove you must fold.

An

Fold, If it was PKO and the big bounty was good I would raise all win, but in this case I would only raise if the big was not too short to isolate and guarantee the aggressiveness of my range but play out of position with the great possibility of between the big and the button allwin I prefer the fold.

fold is wayyyy too tight...consider ev and stack sizes / ranges / positons of opponents.

A very difficult situation and it depends on your table image, Have you played loose or tight throughout the game, The raiser could be trying to steal the blinds, and if you have been folding a lot during the game you could steal them with an all-in push, as in my mind pocket 77s are a mid pair and bottom of my shoving range.
He could be raising with an AK, AQ, etc. or could have a pair himself, he could also be raising with junk just to steal, so the question is do you feel lucky? It all depends on whether you want to gamble or not.
Good Luck!
