I call a 3XBB raise there with nearly anything, most decent SnG players will, too. I call an all in with almost nothing if I'm in the position you describe.

three gap theory is definetly a major consideration, I agree. There is also the theory that folding the SB will create a tight image so that you can pick up the bigger blinds later. And as for actually having a monster on the SB when everyone folds to you, that happens so rarely that I dont like risking on the setup for possible eventuality. I think range of calling hands here is not too narrow. I would not be surprised to see a call here with a hand as weak as TT. How could you say that you would fold QQ when you just said that you would call this play with "almost nothing"?

I think moving in here is pretty dumb. At 30-60 blinds its certainly not worth risking all your chips to win T60 even when the BB can only call 6 or 7% of the time. Personally I am a good enough player that I can win often enough were gambling to win T60 is never worth it. The 7% (or more vs. a player like Smash who will call this play with "almost nothing") is 7% fewer times I give myself to win the tournament(SnG) which I believe I can do often.However if the BB is 10 - 15% of your total count then I think this is a good play most times. BTW T60 here is 2.5% of 1200.

Everyone has heard the saying: "Every chip you accumulate in a tourney has less value than the chip before it!"Unless...You win an extra 5000 tourney chips, have a monster stack, and take a gamble knocking out another player that you may not have, had you not wonthe previous 5K pot.just not sure I fully understand this concept. Anyone care to elaborate?

I like that one Blaze...No Limit

...limping in with AA in early position hoping to get in a reraise?Personally I think this is a superb move if you think there is a 50% chance of being raised. An initial raise, if too large may scare every one out, and too small may get you too much action but a strong reraise here not only sends the correct message but makes you more money than you might have otherwise in a 'fold around' or 'one caller situation'. If no one raises you here than you know to play the hand with a certain amount of caution.

youre right I didnt have 10k, I had that after this hand. I had like 7-8k before this hand but still had the guy covered.

Particulars45 player NLHE tourney, 30 players leftStarting chips: 1500 My chip count: 10000Position: buttonblinds: 50/100Situation:2 limpers ahead, I limp with 8
9 
blinds call/check.Flop: Q J T 
the small blind bets 200 one limper calls, I raise to 600, small blind reraises to 1500, limper folds, I reraise all-in(I have him covered).He folded. Considering his possible holdings I believe I may have been able to get the rest of his chips on 4th street. I dont believe he reraises me with AK in that spot. Right or wrong?

I read A's & K's, it had decent entertainment value, also liked the format, each chapter a short story of each player. Some interesting factoids, quick and easy and not a total waste of time but doesnt really blow your hair back.I know its strategy but what have people heard about Action Dan's Books?
