fold. there are worse situations than to have 8.5BB and a button in two hands time.

I'd go in for the BB price but if someone raised before me then I would fold.

Phantom in this situation AK was UTG (under the gun) which means he was first to act in the hand.

Sorry, missed the UTG part (even though it's in the subject heading).

Personally I would have gone in then but if anyone raised then I would have bailed. But please note my sig :lol:

General $5 tourny players Garth.

Damn, I thought this was a pretty clear ship in. 10bbs, ya know. 10BB tournament rule. Yeah, obv shipped it in, into AKo. I flop a flush draw and lose.

At what point are we shoving this UTG? <5BBs?

Well you shove UTG whenever you have good enough holdings for it.

In this situation you are open shoving way out of position with 8 high. What's the average stack, where are you in the rankings and how long till the money?

I would personally wait for a better position. You fold out BB and SB you are left with 8.5BB in position which is slightly more advantageous than open shoving a complete 10BB stack out of position.
