I’m usually super tight and aggressive in tourneys. I’ll often fold very nice hands just so that I can stay alive on the off chance that someone has a truly boss hand.
I just busted out of a tourney in third place, and did so on what I think was a proper ATC push. Here’s the situation. We had just burst the bubble to go four-way. I and the stack directly across from me are tiny, and the other two stacks are giant. The other tiny stack is the BB, and I’m the button. UTG folds. I push my 3BB all-in with ATC. Here’s why. I figured that I had a lot of fold equity in the BB, since I could potentially bust out the other tiny stack, and he would prefer to fold instead of bust out unless he had a premium hand. I think I judged correctly. Unfortunately, the SB called me down with A8 and I lost.
