It’s the weekend. A two-table tournament has shrunk down to one table. I’m short stack.
The blinds are approaching. I’m first to act. I peek at my hand: Two queens. I push all in.
Everyone folds to the big blind. His name is Mateo; he needs to pay just a small amount in order to call my all-in shove. He debates. He does it.
