Q: You are in a $5.20 DoN tournament with 6 players remaining and blinds at 150-300 and a 30 chip ante. You are in MP with 1400 chips. There are two other players with fewer chips than you: The SB with 1220 chips and the BB with 800 chips. You are dealt pocket aces. UTG folds. What do you do?
A: Though you’re sitting in pretty good position, you are far from guaranteed to make the money. If the short stack doubles up then you are barely hanging on to fifth place. This is a very good opportunity for you to add to your stack, or even, end the tournament if the SB or BB call. You should shove.
