Hi,

this is from my first live-event I ever played.

~1900 runner, we are 250 left, 8-handed, early ITM.

I am one of two super-shortstacks at the table with 55k (M<5), blinds are 2.500/5000 ante 500.

I am sitting UTG+1, UTG, the bigstack at the table (~300k+) opens for 10.500. He seemed like a very competent math-based player, checking chipstacks of other villains often, knowing when to call a raise (odds), how to value bet and how to range people. He recently chipped up by more than 50%. Except from a guy to my left with a very small stack the other players all had 100k+ and most had been playing pretty tight.

My image at the table was aggressive and “not caring for the money” as I had reshipped and shipped AI pretty often shortly (30+) before ITM. I was low stack M 9 – 6 and took every spot that seemed heavily +cEV/slightly +$EV (AI-squeeze QTs from BB, 3bet-shoving QJ vs a loose passive player when I coul still hurt his stack significantly before ITM etc.). I never had to show down, though (nits! ; -).

Now I look down at 44… and jammed. My ranging for UTG-villain was like 50% of his 76s – T9s, 50% 22 – 55, 50% AToand Axs, 50% KQo and almost any JTs, QJs, KJs+, AJo+, 66+.

I felt like the other players would often fold most of their mid-strong holdings (AJo, 88 and below, any KQ) as the bigstack would be a high threat to their stacks if he decided to call. I was pretty shure I had max 5% fold-equity against him, but I was ready to flip (most of the time) to get some breathing room if I double as I would soon be in the blinds and then my stack would still be pretty low even if I managed to double the next orbit.

Much talk, easy question: Do you like the reship? Why? Why not? Sould or shouldn’t we gamble here?

Thanks!
