    In Response to Re: Late stages of tourney, right shove or not?:
    hate it tbh with u i wouldnt even call the 720 it looks like your turning your hand into a bluff so when u go all in your isolating to get heads up with the guy who is all in with 720 chips y the urge to win a extra 720 plus blinds your more then likely behind when guy goes all in 720 chips well u are he he had a q just hate it y not fold and pick a better spot not having a go i bluff just think theres better spots to put your tournement life on the line

    prob fold, esp with limper in front unless you think its very likely you get to isolate shorty

    Here is my thinking, thetank is never calling with less than premium here even with 10bigs,  sb is also tight  A10is the bottom of his calling range i think, only worry for me is the limper utg. Personally with the way the table was, i think its a close one, i only have 15bigs i have a chance of taking a bounty and i dont think im going to find a better spot than this.

    For me the issue you is you have J high.  A very pretty J high yes but all the chips in there are going to entice the limper in.  Hes probably salivating at getting odds to take two bounties for a reasonable price with a hand he is interested in.

    Plus if we lose this hand when we isolate, we have lost credibility at table (BH lol yeah right) but are significantly weaker when we do find a mandatory shove.

    I understand your temptation, but I think we can find a much better spot bud.
