Too weak on the bubble?

[hummusx]

I was really torn about this one. Normally I'd probably just push and hope for the best, but with the one tiny stack...plus it seems like I'd been going out 4th a LOT recently. Should I have pushed instead of folding?

I would fold this too. Well played.

[Degen]

i definately do not push here

he is calling you with most hands...i'd open raise this all-in if he folded to me but this is where the gap concept really kicks in...you are in-effect calling an all-in right here and KQo is not a good hand to be calling an all-in with if you have no chips commited.

Good fold.

[syphlix]

i'd fold that too

[hummusx]

Good to know people agree with me.


Sabre, where do you jump?

[mike28]

You're what 50-60% vs any two? Maybe make this push but no way you call. Good Fold.

A shortstack getting blinded out next few hands? Good fold.

[DMACM]

im actually surprised this is not a push? Would you push AQ here? and 77?

[syka16]

What are you ahead of with KQ? why risk busting out when you're almost given 3rd.

[sabre170]

My home DZ is Perris Valley. Are you a skydiver?

Blue skies,

[hummusx]

Yeah. I actually sat at a table with you a month or so ago. I remember thinking that you must be a skydiver, and I think I asked but you didn't respond.

I was just out at Perris last weekend with my wife. We were on vacation and just had to squeeze in a little tunnel time.

[BigDave]

Someone pushed in front of you, so you still are calling when you push. It sounds symantical, but it really isnt. You are right to think to push KQ here, but only if you are the one opening. To call/push, I need something much better then KQ.

[sabre170]

The tunnel is a blast, isn't it? I hope you had a great time.

I think UTG's bet says: "I have a pretty strong hand, and am willing to try to bust out the short stack." So you let him, given that you are probably a dog, and the short stack is about to be blinded out. I'd only push here with AA-QQ, and maybe AK, depending on my read of the villain.
