QQ in a satellite

[nosey-p]

$20 + $2 MTT into a $700 MTT

7400 (ish) runners

Down to 260, 212 seats

I'm in 180th (ish)

Blinds are 1K / 2K with ante

Under the gun shoves for $10k, EP minimum raise to 20k with about 15k behind, folds to me on the button with QQ (32k in chips)

Fold, Call or Raise?

Less than 16 BB left...EP isn"t folding but I think you have to jam and take your chances....I would.

all day long

Fold.

You"re inside the pay spots by some margin - why take the risk against the EP guy who has min-raised for more than half his stack.... that"s a move that just stinks of strength.

In a normal MTT, this is a jam 100% of the time. In this spot, in a Satellite, for me it"s a fold 100% of the time.

Insta-Fold.

You are in a comfortable position to bag a seat, remember you don"t need to win the thing, just finish 212th.

Larger stacks will manipulate the fact, but swallow your pride, and fold all the way to a seat.

Fold, for all the reasons given already. Standard in a satellite. No need to get involved here. You have plenty of chips to fold your way to a seat.

Actually, I"ve changed my mind now.

If you have seen my blog you will know I didn't get a seat

I will wait, to give other people the chance to post before I tell you what I did but it's this hand that I think I went wrong.

I think it"s probably a fold, even though I suspect it is a turbo sat to tcoop.

[dwh103]

Yeah. I sigh and fold. If it is a TCOOP sat then the shorter stacks will be under pressure even quicker so I"ll bide my time and only take a chance if I really have to.

This, fold every time here for me in a Sate.

yr 180ish, 212 seats available.  32 seats to drop down before danger, with approx 48 left to get knocked out .... not losing any chips here at this stage if flip doesn"t go yr way.  With a sate even 1 chip left is enough to get a seat, I"ve seen ppl scrape through with less than a BB many a time ... let the others knock each other out here.

I did fold for all the reasons already said.

UTG is pushing with any 2 cards. It was the EP player that got me, a minimum raise when he did not have to play just smelt of AA, KK. As it turned out he had 99 but ignore the cards with the info in front of me I think a fold was the right choice.

The trouble was that all the short stacks was doubling up until we was down to about 230 I was in 205 when I got AK in the BB. Short stack shoved on me, I could have fold but felt that I need to win a pot to get through. They had a PP which held. Put me down to 11/2 BB then pushed with K 10 got called with 6 5 you know the rest.

The good news was I won a seat to the GPS in a freeroll
