Hey guys,
Played my biggest tournament ever on the weekend, the $1k first event at the aussie millions, after winning a satellite for $30 (my ABI is about $10-15)
This was a pretty interesting spot about 3 hours into the tourney.
up until this point, my image would have been pretty fishy. firstly, because i was dressed in pub poker gear (won sat through them), and second, well, i was playing like a fish.
i let the situation get to me a bit and played too many pots OOP. James Akenhead and maria ho were on my table as well, and the 2 soft spots had already been emilinated, so it was pretty tough.
Because it was my largest tourney, i felt like i was definitely one of the softer spots on the table, so i went in thinking that if there are any obvious flip spots, then i should take them as i will probably get owned postfop.
so anyway, here is the hand.
I have 7200 (both players have be covered), blinds are 100/200
Folded around to Maria Ho in the cutoff, she opens to 550 and the button flats.
I am in the BB and look down at 8d 9d
What is my play here?

Flat or fold. If you're playing too many hands anything else won't get that much respect and your fod equity could be a lot less than you think.
Probably just folding here. Think we can find some better spots especially since we will be oop throughout the hand if we flat.

are we too deep to shove as a squeeze?
we have 7200 and will be adding 1400 to our stack if we shove and take it down
Personally I don't mind flatting. Your getting 20:1 implied vs 2 opponents and are closing the action. Assuming ur not going broke needlessly of course
Fold and pick a better spot. Remember, you consider yourself the “fish” in relation to the field. In that case, you should be ultra aggressive preflop and avoid playing tricky postflop situations against pros who are vastly more experienced and can pick you apart.

Interesting…as deep as you were, I think I would have flatted some of the time and folded some of the time, depends on how you felt. Squeeze is risky as deep as you are and not a great tell as to your opponents hand strength yet. That said, NICE BINK sir.
I find myself in the 'best to flat ' camp for reasons previous posters have outlined. What I want to know is- did Ms Ho berate you for the squeeze? Thanks for sharing the spot…
