Default I folded AKs on the bubble tonight pre-flop. I felt dirty.

The hand is lost in the abyss somewhere so I'll type it out here.

Average stack sizes:

Blinds are 200/400

UTG (200)
Button (4000)
SB (1500)
Hero (bb)(2500)

UTG folds

Button pushes.

SB folds

Hero folds

before noticing utg has 200 chips, rather than the 2000 i thought:

you [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored], learn to [censored] [censored] [censored] you stupid [censored] [censored].

after noticing utg has 200.

if I am button, i am pushing any 2. what is your read on button? i have a very, very hard time folding.


plug this into icm, dont get other people on the forum to do it for you.

Well the small stack wasn't all in on the BB in the next hand in that one, or all in in the SB on the hand after that even if he did double up (well nearly).

UTG has to win his next 2 hands to stay alive and you're thinking about calling with a drawing hand?

Autofold.

first pays 5 times as much as third, and calling AK a "drawing hand" when you have 6 BB left 4 handed is a crime.

just think about what happens if you win the hand. You have 5K chips, two others have 1.5K. and theres a guy with 1/2BB. there is profit.

now think about what button is pushing here. you are ahead, if button has any sense.
