It's a live tournament so the exact details are a little sketchy but I wrote it down soon after.

 

We are at the 600/300 75 ante ….level 5 I think?

I've got about 22BB and I'm on the button with KQo.

My image to this point has been tight and I've folded to a few re-raises with marginal hands.  I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, partly because for the last hour I had gotten nothing but crap and also because I don't have a ton of live experience and my hands tend to shake like a drunk with the tremors when the action gets big.  But I digress…

 

Guy to my left, who won the tournament last weekend limps in and I call.  Both blinds call.

Flop comes down ATJ, 2 spades.

Blinds check and the open limper  bets 1500.  He started the hand with about 10-12 BB.

I raise to 6000, blinds fold and villain re-raises me all in.  I call

 

Results don't really matter here, but I'm wondering if a shove really matters here.  It's probably for nothing more than another 3,000 chips and the way this guy has been playing, I don't have much doubt that he's calling here. 

 

Any problem with the limp pre-flop?  Or the raise?  I think this is standard but I did question whether I should have just shoved on the flop.  I felt like I wanted to induce action more than have the guy fold on the flop with a big raise.  If he is drawing to a flush, I've got one spade in my hand so I could be on the re-draw.

 

Thanks

I think calling is fine here preflop. I don't want to call a 4bet and have a hand that I def want to see a flop. It would have been nice to get rid of the blinds with a raise preflop but not worth the risk of the limper repopping it, imo. The bet by the limper OOP with so little behind, maybe calling trying to enduce one of blinds to stay in if there loose players with a stack. If there tight then I would raise to try and get all of the limpers chips in then. Nice hand, hope it held for you.

with 22 big blinds in the antes phase of the tourney and the limper being more value to the pot  and your image that you percieve of yourself as being tight i would prolly ship it in online and live i would open to like 2200 and cbet the flop but would never just limp in with the limper, and depending on my day if its live i may even shove. you gotta start to get a move on in any tourney when you approach the 20 bb mark
