Big stack on the bubble

[djj6835]

How bad is this? Am I being to optimistic here to actually expect a fold?

Note: The intial raiser in this hand had been playing especially weak on the bubble. In general, the entire table was very tight, but this guy was probably the tightest.

Sorry, the hand converter wasn't working.

yep, toooo optimistic. i think you overshot this one.

if he is the tightest and all of a sudeen wakes up-- you should expect a hand. This kind of play MIGHT work at the higher 109-215 level. but not at the $22's

Agreed. I just meant tight/weak in the sense that all three players seemed to be trying to fold their way into third, which is why I thought this might work. Out of curiousity, how short would the BB have to be for you to make this play? If the SS had 750 and would be all-in in the SB next hand would you move in here, or does it not matter since half of UTG's stack is already in the pot?
