| This question has been posted elsewhere: I have my views, and will post them later on. Here's the situation: NL tourney, blinds are 4-800, antes 100 down to fifteen players, and you're playing eight-handed. Two loose-passive players limp in front of you, leaving you in the cutoff with 7-7. What is your play? You have 4000 in chips, the lowest stack at either table; average is 22K. Alan BTW, this is the question, as presented-I've no further info. | ||

| with the short stack, I go all in. If everyone folds, you're making 3600 on a steal, it will never get better than that. And if you get called, you get called, but you're going to have to take a stand very soon and you might not get a better chance to double or triple up. Pocket pairs become fairly valuable at stages like this. And with 4000, you still just barely have a big enough stack to scare some into folding. Go through the blinds once more and you won't scare anyone. Eli on 16.

| You don't state what the payoff structure is or your relationship to other low stacks....Both issues are important. That said, I would tend to move all-in....You are going to need to make a stand soon and you are running out of time. I would rather my opponents folded in this spot, but since they are loose-passive that may not be likely. Tournament prize money tends to be top-heavy....go for the win! Roy Cooke on 16.

| I think you have to raise all-in here. You are short stacked and if you don't get anything in the next few rounds, doubling up won't mean a thing. Hopefully, one of the two limpers will fold and you will get your heads up coin flip. | ||
