A weird bubble call

adanthar · #1 05-24-2005, 11:56 PM

Bubble of a 109. The big stack behind me has previously defended A4o to an EP raise in level 2 and is probably getting tired of me pushing on him on top of that.

So I ask myself "am I getting 2:1, do I have two live cards and maybe an over, and can I type 'oops, misclick' if I win"?

(Don't try this at home if you think you have any FE after folding)

Adanthar, why do you think this is a difficult call?
Button has two cards, you're pretty short, and your FE is nearly shot if you fold. You're going to have to win a showdown eventually, and this situation is probably as good as its going to get.

You're getting 2:1. Thus the call is only wrong if he has AA or KK.

Oh good, the sanity check passes. Thread over, thx.

I'll just attach this to this thread:

Hero (t1200)
UTG (t5920)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

i fold this in a 55 (edit: meaning i don't know if its different in a 109...),reason being: cripples your stack if you lose.

i love the 2:1 rule and i use it all the time, but you are ignoring another important piece of it, which is that it must be less than 1/3rd of your stack to call.

Balsy move tho, this looks like a move i make in the home tourneys where we all play the same on the bubble, its an 'i know you have total crap and i have slightly better total crap' call.
