ive been busting out on the bubble alot lately this seems like the standard play here everyone like this play

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

Hero (t2015)
UTG (t5375)
Button (t4690)
SB (t1420)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, Button folds, SB completes, Hero raises to t2015, UTG calls t1815, SB folds.

Flop: (t4230) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Turn: (t4230) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t4230) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t4230

You're risking 2000 to win 200, unless he has aces, in which case you're screwed.

The right play greatly depends on how tricky he is and whether he'd call a big pair here, but I lean towards checking.

this play seems okay. It depends on the buyin though. I mgiht not raise allin, but most of the way allin (essentially committing yourself allin). For some reason people think allin is a bluff.
