6 handed is "bubble play"? WTF?

Whether to call or not relies totally on reads, if he's pushing a wide range here (more than 22+,A2+,KTo+,K8s+,QTs+) then you can call (assuming you want at least some edge). Otherwise, you can't.

If it's me pushing there, you should probably call /images/graemlins/grin.gif

OK I changed the title just for you. My apologies, it felt like the bubble. So how do yo define bubble, 4-5 players only but definitely not 6, is that an absolute rule or what?

[tigerite]

The bubble is, by definition, the point when someone is about to be 'bubbled off' out of the money, therefore, it's 4-handed. Anyway, I also answered your question /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Are you sure? I would think 5 handed with 200-400 blinds would qualify as bubble, no?

Anyhow I guess you're right, my case probably wasn't bubble, my bad.

You did answer my question and I agree. SGA told me the same thing as well.

[tigerite]

Of course the other issue is, if you fold here he is probably right to push any two..

Good old gap concept at its finest..

Yeah I put him on a huge range, maybe as huge as any 2 and SGA tells me this is an easy call infact folding is a big mistake.

I am so happy I have SGA and I don't have to wonder about these things any more.

Not so happy that I called and lost to his Q6.
