[1C5]

Villian has been rather active with raising on the bubble. Your play?

Hero?

Fold, I think. I don't hate a stop and go. A push would be incredibly silly.

[schwza]

i'd use the old turbo-fold.

if you stop and go, there's 2200 in the middle and hero pushes for 1100. yuck.

[tigerite]

Yeah. It's not great. But I wouldn't hate it dependent on some kind of read on the Villian, say he is a habitual folder to pressure on a flop, or whatever.

But a push would be horrendous, surely.

Fold. And I do hate a stop and go.

Sorry; But I'm going w/Push...Villian's range is any 2; you're a fav against any two; when do you expect to next get a pair?

Foldy fold fold fold.

For some reason ilya hasnt posted results. In any case Im a huge @#%@%^ retard and I pushed. I think its quite obviously bad to be honest and knew this immediately after I did so. I'm not quite sure what possessed me to push, I think it was something about the opponent that made me feel there was some folding equity (whcih there obviously wasnt since he immediately called with 97s....very well played by not pushing to begin with!!)

In any case a stop and go is almost surely better than an allin. And a fold is likely the best of them all. I haven't played for a long time and I'm finding myself doing sloppy things from time to time. But okay after playing a bit more and constantly recognizing the errors, hopefully I can get back to my best form.

Not reading replies first this time:

I think this is a clear fold. Lots of reasons, but the most important is that you have next to zero FE. Also hero is SB, and although he does have the smallest stack, there's still plenty of opportunity. I would think that pushing here with 77 is more reasonable, and, a more interesting discussion.

Don't read replies but also read the question better. Hero is the BB.

Indeed. The stop N go becomes a more playable option now. this was an easier decision from the SB.
