Easy way to get more chips in a bounty game

[targetguy1]

yeah its crappy cards but when your that low and that many people in the pot this is going to be your best shot of getting a chance to even have a shot at cashing. this game is still going on and i will update afterwards.
so did i make the right call and got lucky or was it a donk move and got lucky?

ok this is a common play by a short stack, pushing all in here. for two reason:

1. he lost a lot of chips the hand before

2. or the player was playing bad all night and still is.


since you were the low stack.... nothing AK can do there, they are calling no matter what. QJ shouldnt make that call. you actually were getting protected by AK thier. Qj should of folded and you would of won heads up.

plus side is that both called and you tripled up!! nice going!!
bad side is you are going up agianst 4 overs..got really lucky

There are two sides to look at. First, based on position you were looking at getting to look at the next 6 or 7 hands for free. Would you find something better? Would you make as many chips? Would you even win the hand? Those are all questions I can't answer, but when considering when to push those are things to look at. With your push you got 3 callers plus a few limpers. Nice pot to pick up. I don't think I would of pushed here with the raising action prior to the action getting to you. There are alot of hands that might raise that require you to catch alot to win. I would of waited for at least 2 bigger cards and minimal raising before me.

Great catch to take down that pot.
