this hand is from tonights 19.15 £2.20 deepstack. there were 8 players left and i had already cashed. as you will see i raised nearly half my stack then had 2 shoves behind. i then knew there was a strong chance i was behind, but with only 6'bbs left i made the call. was it a bad call or should i have folded with the possibility of laddering up? obviously in other circumstances it's a fold but what about here? if i had laddered up it would have only been for an extra 2 pounds.

    Just unlucky, the odds of 3 pocket pairs, on a 6 handed table are something like 500/1 maybe more, im no good at that, but unlucky ;)

    Id either min raise or shove pre. Although i think after the two all ins you have the ability to fold even with haff your stack in.

    fwiw, I'm just shoving the lot in to begin with. You've only 10 bigs left & you're next up in the blinds so it's extremely unlikely that you're gonna find a better spot than this.

    Obviously the end result is the same but that's totally irrelevant.

    cheers, i didn't shove as i was hoping for one call or re-raise, then i was going to shove any flop, but i agree with all comments and realise my mistake. next time i'm in a similar spot i will def be shoving pre!!

    10 Bigs is shove or fold stack. You should be trying to isolate 1 opponent to give Yourself at least a 40% chance. Putting in 4x, you can't really fold to a shove anyway

    not sure what was meant by this? the initial comment, most agree with but the end confuses me!!
    Obviously £2 isnt going to change his life but at this level any extra from laddering might improve his bankroll by a % and should be considered.
    I dont know you and im sorry if it was meant another way but please dont be flippant with your comments, i play a lot of £2 tournies and an extra £1/£2 can make a difference to the next tourny i play, so like i said, every part of where you are in the tourny should be considered.
