Sorry for not clarifying in my last post but it was the SB that had been my aggressive oppponent. The solid opponent was the button.

Foldy Foldy. I think this action is tremendous for you as you can very likely sit back and watch them beat each other up. That being said, I'd push AA and KK here.

The SB's min raise just reeks of strength and is begging for a reraise. He almost surely is ahead of you (and possibly has AA or KK even though you have an A and a K) -- who makes this play with less than JJ-AA?? So, if you get involved and even if the button backs down, you are looking at the wrong end of a coinflip -- I'd much rather wait for opportunities where I'm first into the pot to win some free chips.

I've only played 18 $50s, but even there guys where trying to steal on the bubble by min-raising.

AK on the bubble in a $50+5 is an autopush for me, with or without action in front of me. There's not a whole lot of time left, and you've been dealt one of the best hands that you can possibly be dealt. The amount of action you get from awful dominated Ax hands is just too much to pass up... ever.

oh man, you dont know how many times my ak suited has fallen to pocket pair at 50+5.

in this scenario, i would fold and let them 2 battle it out. one of them may have a pair. why risk 600 chips, when you might even cruise ITM.

Just in case anyone was curious of the results of the hand I instapushed without giving it a second thought. The button callled me and then the sb folded with half his stack in the pot. The button turned over aces and I leave the table finishing fourth.

its a coin flip unless one has AA or KK but being on the bubble i feel its an easy fold...yes u have a good starting hand but what would you do next out of position when you miss flop? wait for better place maybe one gets knocked out right here and you at least have 3rd.
