World Series of Poker (WSOP) Situation: Final 3 players of a $500 buy-in tournament bounty tournament. Each knockout pays $100. Blinds / Antes: 30K/60K/3K Your Position / Stack: SB / 390K behind. Your Hand: KsQs Action: UTG is short stack and goes all in for 210K. BB is chip leader with 880K behind his blind. ... What do you do?
------------ Oh my, suited connectors rarely hit for me on the SB. But late in they sometimes do great things. Depending on how things have been running, my 1st instinct is to fold this and wait for something better. 210K is a lot to lose, you'd only have 180K left if you lost. Not that you couldn't get it back, but in my experience once you lose them that late in a tourney, they not coming back.....

Hm, a real coinflip I guess. In my opinion UTG can hold everything and is maybe just trying to steal the blinds with any 2. Me personally I guess would have pushed AllIn in this situation

Posted by kgc65player: I Fold..... And Think It Depends On How I Read The People From Earlier Hands ......
That is exactly the problem. It so depends on how things have run to this point. If the SB hasn't hit there in a long time, I "might" call. If the SB hits, and say you have seen 10+ hands with no hits, it most like gonna hit soon. Maybe this hand. I think this is 1 of the tougher WSOP questions. Must be 6 factors to think about here. But regardless, I feel folding here is the best bet.

Based on my inexperience, but lately growing more guts, it's final 3 and I would still be sitting on 180K. I will call. Generally once I'm down to 5 or less players I call if I'm chips up on the individual betting, if my hand has potential. Maybe the wrong move, but never know until flop. Challenging question / decision. Keep posting and GL to all!

think i call he dont even have 4bb he is shipping anything and hoping you fold unless hes lucky and found a monster but he could have anything and good chance its a rag A and then its pretty much a flip but screw it, in it to win it call i mean you dont have many chips yourself and when im sitting with just over 6bb and seen KQ i scream for joy and cant wait to ship my chips and its even sooted what the hell you guys waiting for As
