Default Re: On the bubble with A9s- Would you call an all in by the shortstack

Hi,

This is a close call. He's about to blind out 1/3 of his stack so he has to play a hand in the next 5 hands and needs to double up to have any chance.

You need to know how he plays. How tight is he? Is he able to go all in with pairs less then 9? 2 big cards? Any hand with an Ace in it?

I'd open/raise/push with hands a lot weaker then A9s 4 handed if I only had 1k at the 100/200 blind mark.

1. Take advantage of peoples willingness to fold on the bubble.
2. I truely need chips.
3. 4 handed I'm likely to hold the only Ace and can still win if my opponent doesnt improve to a pair.
