Worst. Bubble Play. Ever.

Hey all. This is from a 7 dollar Party Poker Million Sub Qualifier. The Top 2 Spots win a free roll into the 30 dollar PP qualifier. Before this hand, I opened up a huge chip lead, w/one player about to be blinded out. The guy in 2nd just had to hang on for one hand until...

Hilarious how the guy w/200 of his 270 chips in the pot folded on the slim hope that the other guy would bust out. Awesome. But, it's what to be expected for a 7 dollar buy in Party game.

I thought the funny part was the mid-sized stack raising you allin with K4s.

Folding by the guy with 270 chips isn't that bad of an idea actually. Folding is a viable option for him with a very bad hand as he's likely to be dominated by both of you. OTOH, if he gets out of the way then there is a chance the two of you will hit big flops (or go allin preflop). I'd go allin here as the 270 stack though, so, whatever.

Perhaps you misunderstand...I'm clearly making fun of the guy who began the hand w/over 2000 chips. He had to just sit back and wait for nature to take its course w/the guy who had 270 left.

As for the ultra short stack...he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't. Here, his fold paid huge dividends because the other guy wanted to get cute.

That is what sparked my post.

Don't worry though, it's cool. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

If only the top 1 gets paid, then it's a terrible fold. The odds of him doubling up 7 times in a row to win it are about 0.8%. A better use of his time would be watching paint dry.
