I dont know if i should regret doing what i did. Two things that i question...

Should i have pushed PF rather than raise? I was getting a run of cold cards until this one and thought this hand was too valuable to push and have them fold. I wanted callers.

And

Should i call this? or just let them knock each other out and hope to survive as shortstack? i was sure i was up agaisnt over cards, k/a.

im sorry if this is a fishy post. i just dont think i know how to play the buble any more..

what would you do with Jacks or lower pocket pairs in this situation, PF & on the button? Limp, fold, push?

thanks for any help.

What are you dong. Just push it in the first place. All this raise- re-raise - re-re-raise. It's bollocks. Stop it! Push first-in.

And of course I don't have to tell you this isn't even the bubble anyway, as there are FIVE (count 'em, 5) people left.

Push. Stop having Fancy Play Syndrome.

i considered it bubble because if i won the hand, i would have placed. and if i lost, i would of been out. sorry.

Bubble play isn't limited to only 4 players.

Obviously his call was correct though, right?

Sure, I'd always call here, but I'd have pushed in the first place so wouldn't even need to stress about it.

how low of a pocket pair would be enough to push for?
would 5's and below be worth it?

it depends on more that just the hand. stacks, position, action, opponents. the list goes on
