Paging @Ben and @DrStrange
Ok strat question
Final table of 40k guaranteed tourney, 9 players left
Guaranteed $1,200. Next jumps are to $1500, $1900 and $2500.
Up top is almost 14k
Blinds are 6/12k with 2k ante, so we bleed almost 40k chips each time the button comes around
I have a stack of 310k in the BB, avg is 400k
EP raises to 32k, another EP player calls, button calls
These guys all have 500-700k each
I look down at KJ suited in the BB. Sometimes I call here, but I figured I could shove, here is my reasoning
I have blockers to AK, AJ, KK and JJ
Hands like AJ, AT and TT and lower probably fold.
AQ suited and JJ have a tough spot and might fold also
Really only worried about getting called by AK, AA, KK, QQ in this spot most of the time
I figured I had an opportunity to force the folds and increase my stack by almost 50%, or get heads up with dead money in the pot and maybe be 60/40 or even a flip sometimes
