Default Re: QQ - bubble hand, shorty allin and a call....

Nah. It's because you know you are at least calling and probably have 70%+ equity in any side pot, so why not create one right now instead of potentially making one of the two of you fold?

Pushing right now with a 70/30 edge is +240cEV from the side pot alone and I don't see a reason why calling is gonna be any better.

Brian, no matter what cards hit, ur not folding this hand unfortunately. IMO, you only gain equity by a stop n go is if villain has an underpair (like 55), and has the potential werewithall (sp?) to fold.

The times he has 33 and calls your push right now > the times he has 33 and folds on the flop = the times he has 33, an ace hits, you check/fold to his minbet and feel enormously stupid when UTG's A9 is the best hand and you lose about a thousand Sklansky chips on the deal.

I definitely see a huge pitfall here, thxs, but...

Wouldnt the big stack want to eliminate the short stack as much as you? Wouldnt he want to show down anything instead of bluffing? Or am I assuming too much?
