Here's a hand from a micro i played today… before you see the hand, my thinking was,”i'm priced in… but there is more than likely a way higher kicker than mine, and should i lose, i'm reduced solely to shove mode.”

After the hand i'm kicking myself in the ass repeatedly. But was i being results oriented – or was i correct in the priced-in math part and was supposed to shove????

nah 100% fold this, you made the right play. dont even question it, very results oriented thinking.
it is nice to hit quads though.
Thanks benny. I'm glad I made the right decision. For a minute there, I was t-r-i-p-p-i-n-g! I knew people were shoving light and had been all tourney, but FOUR shovers! I was getting like 5.5-to-1 to call and that's what was really giving me pause to think as I looked at the pot and thought about the opponents shoving.

just think, what if one of them had 88 and another had AK, then your A7 is about as dead as you can get, save for ripping out quads of course 😀
