Party 10+1 LV5+
So far I've only been calling on the bubble (with about 3-4x bb) (4-5 ppl left), with AA,KK, QQ, JJ, 10s, AK, AQ....Call rarely with KQ, AJ, A10 when short stack pushes with less than half my stack.
I know that there are a number of hands ie. 99,88,77,A9 which would more than often be a big or small favorite over someone's pushing hand, meaning I should call. But I prefer to fold instead of calling with a stronger hand, and be the raiser with a weaker hand beacause I then have the chance to win the pot without "gambling".
im sure thats a run-on sentence ^^ but anyways...
With no read,
What hands should I call a equal/bigger stack with?
What hands should I call a 1/2 size stack with?
Should I not be afraid to gamble with a guy on the bubble?
I know Aleomagus strategy (which I use) says to tighten up on the bubble, but I feel like the fish are taking advantage of this.
Im pretty confused, thx as always for any advice, Brian
