well it really depends if your merely interested in just cashing/making the money or going FTW (for the win). ur post makes it seem like u 'just' get into the money with a fairly shortstack. if thats the case, then you are not setting yourself up very well to win the tourney. like if r shortstack and push and one of the leaders in the blinds, they wont have a problem calling you with not much if it isnt much more to them. i think you might be exaggerating a little bit with AA vs. 27 tho as ppl arent that likely to call with such a weak hand as 27, but anything Q high or higher is likely to call. so with that said, instead of focusing on how u bust out, u should focus more on not trying to just limp into the money but rather have a nice stack going in. cuz then u can be the bigstack cracking the aces. |
