Notwithstanding some good points that have been made, I still believe the original all-in (preflop) was a bad play. This player had everything going for him...position, solid hand, short field, and room to maneuver if he needed it, with a REASONABLE bet. He's the shortest stack at the table, but not crippled, so I believe he needs to attempt to wring the most value possible out of this hand. More often than not, he gets NO callers from this all-in play, so all he's managed to do is steal the blinds, with a premium hand! Now, and most importantly, here's the real problem with this all-in...WHO CAN LEGITIMATELY CALL HIM? Remember, he's got position and a reasonable if not bulletproof stack...so the only call he could legitimately expect to his all-in is from a hand THAT IS LIKELY TO BE EITHER EVEN MONEY AGAINST HIM, OR BETTER THAN HE IS TO BEGIN WITH! Short handed, he's a dog against virtually any pair (or fifty-fifty at best), and while he's going to maybe...MAYBE...entice an AQos or the occasional high suited hand in, that's just too unlikely (and while those hands are behind, for sure, they're not overwhelming underdogs even if they DO make the bad call). So he needed to ask himself, what do I gain by going all-in, versus making a reasonable raise and hoping to get a call from a weaker hand...say, a KJos. Long and short of it is he's wasting an opportunity to play a valuable hand for value. More importantly, he's just giving up control of the hand, risking his entire tournament on a bet that can only really be called down by a hand that probably has him beat coming out of the gate. Dumb, dumb play.
