E250+25, 100 players, 9 players ITM.
16 players left, 3 shortstacks with less then 5 bb.
im middle stacked and there is only one shorty at our table.
the shorty pushes from UTG2 with 5.9 bb left and the hand is folded to me in the SB, i find QQ...
BB is an over agressive player who had me covered. a normall raise would make me almost commited. i have a fairly tight image and i have won some blinds in the orbit before. 2 rounds before i did put the bigstack to the test when i went allin on the turn when HE was the original raiser.
what to do?
the options offcourse:
-fold and let the BB handle it. he would have called with ATC.
-call and hope the BB would only call and we could have checked it down, but the BB did bet some hands before on the flop when two players were up against one allin from the same shorty. with that bet he chased out the outer allincaller and with that the shorty won.
-raise but that would have been for about 1/5 of my stack. and would certanly
not have scared the BB away.
-allin for maximum protection of my hand.
what would have been the best play...give extra notice that this is a expensive tournament and that im almost ITM
