Ok here's one I'm not sure if I played right last nite, I'm curious to see what you guys think.
Its a $10 SNG and we're down to 3 handed so I'm in the money. $10K total chips on the table, short stack to my right has ~$2000ish which at this point and I believe blinds are at 250/500. Villain on my left has only about $200 more than me and we've each got ~$4000. I've been able to steal several blinds from both and villain got close by calling my semibluff in an earlier hand.
So now I'm on the button with 77 and called the BB (short stack). He folds virtually every time I raise, so I'm trying to trap him here and get him out, hence the limp in with the pp. SB (Villain) raises all in and has me covered by a little bit, this is something he has never done in this tourney. He has either min raised or called and hasn't shown any propensity for stealing. BB folds and is now down to $1450 and will be blinded to death in about an orbit or so.
So if I call here and lose, I'm out and in 3rd. Fold the 7s and we can probably kill off the small stack and go head to head. Since he's never gone all in pre-flop and is pretty much risking his own tournament life here (he'd have less than 1 SB if he's wrong), I have to put him on a monster. I think about it until my time runs out and fold, he doesn't show. I do end up in 2nd place in the end and he doesn't do that move again for the remainder of the tourney either. What do you guys think?
