Stars $650 super bubble hand

[sawil]

Played in PStars super and won a seat on the cruise, but this is the hand that had me tearing what little hair I have out.

Heres the hand that I couldnt beleive I had to fold. We are on the bubble with 1 short stack all in.

These idiots were betting and raising a 4 way pot with an all in , on the bubble. Unreal! Think I made a good fold here? Wouldve won the large side pot, but if it didnt hold up I'm out. Even if we check down as I was hoping we still push pot to all in guy. Just coulnt believe these bets and raises without absolute nuts.

Wow what a tough spot to be in!

I'd have hated to be in your shoes there.

Given that you were on the bubble, and there is a big liklihood someone is about to bust out, your fold should be easy.

Without the bubble I'm all-in.

Yes was a very tough spot. All in man rivered a flush but if folding my set gave him the pot with a lower hand, I would have been livid. I dont think these guys knew what was at stake. I wouldve beat the other allin guy with his 2 pr and crippled him. Just glad I was able to squeak into a seat.

Why are you hoping to push the pot to the all-in guy? Don't you get a seat if he LOSES this pot?

[sawil]

I'm not hoping to push pot to all in guy, I am hoping to check down in order to increase the chances that we do bust out the all in guy. With more players at the end theres more chances that 1 of our hands will beat him. One of us might have caught a perfect card. Suppose they didnt bet/raise me out and the river brought a 6 giving me quads. All in guy is busted and tourney over.

is what he is saying.
