Call or shove in the money $100,000 guarantee
Spot that I'd like opinions on. In the money in a $100K guarantee. Sitting at 53rd place with $19,000 up top. Hero has
OP: the Guarantee of a tournament tells me way less than the buy in. A $100K Guarantee can be anything from a $50 to a $1K...it didn't matter in this hand, but if you are trying to give us some color on the quality of the field, the buy in is a better way to do it.
For reference, this was a $100 buy-in online event on WSOP.com.
I was pretty sure villain's flatting range against the wide 6BB shove from button was way behind my AK and that he would fold to my shove with most of his range, which should have served to preserve my stack. Flatting had more potential post-flop variance, even in position (I figured). Shows that you can never be sure how another player is going to act.
You gotta shove in this spot. You want to see all 5 cards and you are going to be playing a guessing game when the flop comes and you whiff and then face a small/medium bet.
