Hello fellow PCF'ers
Played in a 32 player MTT today. (Live, not online.) Hero suffered through most of the tournament as one of the two short stacks at his table. All players had to move as others were eliminated, but Hero's seat did not change.
Hero started to chip up late, building his stack to 21BB's. Average chip-stack of the 11 remaining players in the tournament was somewhere between 25 to 30. Playing five handed at Hero's table. Hero is in the SB with A/J off-suit. Folds to Hero who makes it 3.5BB's to go because Villain, who has 27 or 28BB's, tends to call wide. Villain raises to 7.5BB's. Villain is capable of making this raise with mid pocket pair or better. A/10 is unlikely, which means Hero is behind if Villain is on an ace.
Hero is not folding to a 4BB raise. He decides to get it all in instead of flatting. Villain calls with little hesitation and turns over A/Q. Thoughts/criticisms?
