hey m8 i`m not a great mtt player mainly cash for me but hands you have spoke about and posted are just vul getting in ahead and losing this why mtt variance can be so brutal because when you get sucked out on your out this why i prefer cash because if i get sucked out just reload and win my money and some back.
also seen wacko90 posted saying pm for advice I would defo snap this opportunity up the guy is a machine in mtts and don`t even think he plays that many which makes his results even more scary lol.
20bb in the cutoff, I prefer the minraise. Think its slightly too much to be open shoving, and both blinds have jamming stacks (more so the SB than the BB). Had someone raised in front of us, then its an easy all in.
Gotta say, it's awful play from the villain and he got pretty lucky. The only saving grace is that you had him well covered.
min raise all day long with no action before you. ofc if you get 3 bet stick it in pre.
I see you posted this hand because you lost it... you wouldnt be thinking about the raise pre if you'd won. Try not to be results orientated. Its the correct play.
I ended up playing a bounty hunter tonight, ended up with no Bounties but min cashed (i wasn't trying to!)
Really happy with how i played, apart from my exit hand (below)
I ran well at the start of the tournie getting up to about 5k.. Lost a bit, then the blinds got up 2 150/300, 200/400 3/6 and i was card dead, grinded a 10 bb stack for like an hour, then manged to get an above average stack, done 3 k on one hand, then my exit hand occurred!
I think i need to ship this pre? Fold or shove? I think it's a mistake calling like i did. On that flop i'm doing my money every day of the week.
no bad beats this tournie!

Personally i like a shove pre. 4bb already in the pot and you have 20bb before calling. Thats 1/5 youre stack you can add.... plus you rarely know where you are in a hand with AJ flop wise.
Shoving here is the only thing you can do with 8 bigs. You run into a better hand... unlucky. But you cant wait for aces when youre this short as you'll just get blinded out or youl get to a stage where people are calling any two cards to knock you out and even aces dont hold up too good in a multiway pot.
Loose call by villain though I think as he doesnt need to risk over half his starting stack with such a mediocre hand.

Should i just ship this pre?
Or did i do the right thing min raiseing to try andinduce a shove pre?

Shove or fold pre. Flatting is probably the worst option with >20bb. Be more decisive pre when this shallow.
As played, almost impossible to get away from.
10 Qualified for the Mini.
Had another deep run but ended up being knocked out about 20th out of 250th.
This is my exit hand, is this a fair enough to shove Ace 7, given my staack(under 10 bigs) and position?
Loose call by villain though I think as he doesnt need to risk over half his starting stack with such a mediocre hand.
With 8bb, you should be shoving almost any 2 cards if it's folded to you on the button. So A7 is a no brainer.
