Elaborate, please?

I am on the Button, and put her on a mid-Ace, or pair (88+). When she shoved I leaned more towards the pair, and figured to have two overs. I was low on chips and the gamble seemed worth it, win or lose. Were I the chip leader, I probably just call to control the size of the pot. Honestly, I was looking at double up or quits the whole time.

Here's the problem.

Blinds 25/50, your M value (i.e. health of your stack) is stupidly high (25). You are nowhere near needing to gambool for stacks here. Now, if you're going to just say "Well, it's just a $5 tourney / Just for fun / etc" then there's no point in hand analysis. I remember watching this hand, and was STUNNED at the call.

You are referring to calling the shove?

Mark basically said it. You put in about 40 bigs pre with AJoff. This is prob not a profitable play. If you stove AJo vs the range you described above youll see why.

I basically think TT is the very bottom of any competent players 4b shove here.

Id prob do it in the forum game too, but never IRL.

Hmmmmmm . . . thank you both.
