My comment : blinds are very high and antes too but as the goal is only to rank in top3, waiting 2-3 more hands could have been a way to luckily see 2 players out... Hard math anyway as K4 suited has much chance to be better than my 3 next starting hands

Not a lot of strategy here but I think taking time to annalyze such moves will often make the difference between bubble and paid rank which is very important!

not a realy bad move lava but when trying to brack the bubble short staked i try to stick to what i call the 20+ raul if im going to push i'll leave it till i have a pair a ace or 2 cards toteling 20+ in my hand

all folded around to you on the button,so all in(and cross fingers) or fold, ante's being 200 i'd say if you fold you have 2 hands left, to find a better hand before your forced to play.
so K4 suited aint the worst to try with.

5 players, short stake, K4, 2 hands left to wait, 6 seconds to decide - I say go for it.

I like Roo's 20+ rule.... I used to follow 21 rule.... maybe I am getting older, but I tend to use 23 rule.... not always, though, as 2 7 only equals 9

with a stack of 1715, antes of 200, blinds 1000/2000 u dont have time to wait for better hand! 2 7 would have been enough at that point u just gotta go for it & cross ur fingers! any hand could get lucky and keep u in it.. u would still need another double pretty soon anyway.

i was just on final table in outlaws and not gettin anything higher than a 9, nothing connected, no pairs, nothing... antes eat stack real quick.. xD

I have to agree with all comments.
Very little time to think about your move.
With the ante knocking down your stack and only two moves left i think you had no choice but to go for it.
The chance of two people going out before you is tiny.
Kd4d was not a bad hand really.
It probably was not that last hand that lost you the place, perhaps look back at some of your earlier hands.
It sounds like we all would have done the same.
It could have been worse,holding KK and getting knocked out would have hurt

thanks for your point hehe, glad to see that wasn't such a crazy move

Anyone else got a hand like that? The forum really need more strategic discussions
