Hey guys,
Played in sky open on the weekend and was in the top 5 for most of the tournament... however when the blinds increased to 6,000 / 12,000 players on my table were starting to steal blinds... as expected. I had roughley 90,000 chips and the other big stack on my table had over 100,000. I ran into a nice hand of :as: qh on a 5 handed table... and was sat in the small blind... the big stack raised to 50,000 (one before the button)... my move here is either to fold of go all in... I pushed all in... Firstly was my move of all in a good push...?? as I though to win the big money in The Open, I stood a far greater chance if I doubled up with nearly 180,000 chips if I won... Everyone else folded... They guy turned over a jd js and they stood up and won... leaving me disappointed with 18th place...
My query is, was this the correct move...? Should I of realised raising to 50,000 was a strong raise or just a nice way to steal blinds as most of the other players would of folded to a raise 4x the BB...? Maybe I should of folded with the intention of laddering up the cash...? Thoughts would be appreciated...!
Cheers
