bubble call w/88....borderline?

haven't been bubbling long...nothing out of the ordinary from the pusher. pretty quiet to this point, picking up a big pot early.

how close is this?

It's close, that's for sure. But without a read of LAG on the pusher, my calling range might be 99+ here, maybe even TT+ (I said it was close). That said, the fact that this is a Turbo might turn this into a call. I don't know. I don't dabble at the Turbos.

I dunno, I honestly think you have him dominated a very high percentage of the time. I think this is a call, you are the shortest stack and you are ahead here pretty much always. Why would he want to just pick up the blinds here with 99-TT?

This is almost certainly +cEV and there isn't much of a compelling reason to make it -$EV as you are the shortest stack.

With the stacks at those sizes, I think this could be your best chance to win the tourney. Like Durron says, you're probably ahead.

If you fold, youre 600 behind the 2nd shortest stack and youre probably going to have to steal a lot or get lucky and double up later.

Why not take a chance and try to double up now while you have a hand?
