would you lay down on the bubble to 3 all ins preflop?

I of course folded this hand and was discussing this with my friend and how crazy it was....the chance to go from on the bubble to heads up 7800 vs. 200 or so

HE SAID YOU WOULDN'T CALL THE FLOP ALL INS....is this correct? I wouldn't play this even unraised preflop so i understand the merits of waiting for smaller stacks to bust but....if i'd been in on the flop....$5 buy-in btw...doing the grind it out thing with 50 bucks for now....experienced at the 22s...just no roll for now

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

SB (t1230)
Hero (t2625)
UTG (t1300)
Button (t2845)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, Button raises to t475, SB calls t375, 1 fold, UTG calls t275.

SB bets t755 (All-In), UTG raises to t825 (All-In), Button calls t825.

You would definitely go allin on the flop, because even if you lose the hand, you will still almost surely win something as you had more money than the others to begin the hand.

he said i'd be better off trying to move up 2 spots into the money and the flush draw out there might hit or someone could have 67...i rationalized that even if the flush hit maybe a smaller stack had it and i'd still get the sidepot and be back where i started....is this correct thinking?

If the button wins the pot, you come second, if he doesn't, you win the sidepot barring some bizarre quirk of fate.

Of course, you also probably just win a lot of the time.

good point on the 2nd place finish...the worst is 3rd if the button beats me but loses to a small stack.....

he came up with the 2nd place finish point on his own and recanted....

still an interesting hand....does the buy in level matter here? would this be the same at the 109s? say you felt they were all really weird players...and you don't credit someone with 6d 7d...

bonus points to whomever guesses the hands (important hint: NO FLUSH DRAWS???)

btw...if that hand wasn't weird enough...i stuck around for a different hand and took 2nd place all in PF with Ks Qs....I lost to Kd Qd...runner runner.....OUCH

ok everyone im the friend that he was talking to we were trying to talk about this on aim and i was playing at the same time with that said now that i look i was worried about big stack taking it all but if that did happen he would finish 2 so not that bad and the chances of him winning is pretty good so i do think that the play would be to call

I wouldn't call. I'd push the rest of my stack in so that the side pot is bigger. Then even if I lose to one of the short stacks I take in a pretty nice pot.
