$55 bubble call with big stack

All four of us have been playing tight on the bubble and sb has folded to me on my bb couple of times in a row. I'm fairly sure I'm beat here, but I call getting ~2 to 1 from pot.

If I call and lose I can't bully the shorties as easy as I could had I just folded. Of course if I win I have very good chances for first.

I think this is an autocall but I want to be sure.

Wormie,

Nice flop huh? Hahahaha

You have hella lot of chips and are pretty much dominating the tourney from what it looks like, I would have done the same thing, it sends a message to the others that you are willing to push them around, get their blinds, and then take a chance even if your not a favorite to take them out. You lose this hand here your not crippled and obviously,as we see from the results, things worked out alright.

Did you win?

Seth

Yeah "ok" flop for me and yes I won it.

I'll take 2 to 1 against a wide range here very, very easily.
