A10 Bubble??

[jzpiano14]

I'm having a problem with A10 on the bubble, I've busted out numerous times with it for 4th place. What do you do with it? I usually will push with this hand when I am the aggressor. I always seem to get called by a small PP or AJ+ and lose.

let me guess..the last 3 times u pushed with AT u got busted...

[jzpiano14]

more than 3 thx, but what do you do with A10 on the bubble i guess is what I'm wondering?

[hummusx]

It depends on factors you haven't listed, of course, but if you're in a position where you're going to push most other hands you might as well be pushing AT. When I'm on the bubble I'm pushing a lot worse than that. Sometimes you get caught. Oh well.

[hummusx]

Oh yeah, and sometimes when you don't get caught you lose anyway. I pushed last night with AT and was called by A9. He caught a 9 on the river. I've lost AJ to A6, AK to A4, etc, etc, etc.

A10 is a pretty decent starting hand 4 handed play, but I just feel that I'm losing a LOT more often than I am winning with it.

I hate A10 too. It is my nemesis. On the bubble, I always lose with it and people always beat me with it. So here is what I have been doing with it recently:

1a. I give my A10 the finger or
1b. I say "Eat a Dick Ace Ten" or
1c. Both
2. I slide the chip bar all the way to the right.
3. I click "All In"

That'll show that A10 who's the boss. You can also fold A10 on the bubble, but understand that you would be a vagina-mcginesteen if you did.

All bubbles are not created equal.
The blind level is pretty important.

With high blinds, of course push AT, if someone else was dealt a better hand 4-handed, type gg, and be on with it.

With lower blinds, there is less chance of being called by inferior holdings, and the reward for picking up blinds is less. When you are called here, its likely your AT is either behind, or a 60/40.
