late in tourney decision

lets say blinds are 500/1000

ok wait a second so you have 12bb stack and your going to raise to 9,000 so you can fold and leave yourself 3k which is 3bb stack?

why?

If your going to raise that much of your stack why wouldnt you just put it all in?


no I think if your putting 3/4 of your stack in the middle preflop there is no way your folding no matter what the flop looks like. You do understand by putting 3/4 of your stack in preflop you have just put 75% of your stack in the middle? Which also means there is 18k in the middle and you will have to call 3k to win about 21k. Of you can raise 2.5x to 3x and actually be able to fold a crappy flop and still have enough chips to have fold equity.
