($60) QQ on the bubble

[bluefeet]

Seat 9 has been overly aggressive since 6-handed - with ever expanding push/call ranges. His stack has gone up and down like a yo-yo.

I'm pushing here.

[Ricardido]

Hes probably doing this with a medium ace or hands like KQ,AT etc. Id push.

[bluefeet]

Hmmmmm, lot of "push it!'s.

I tried to allude to this fact w/ my "read"...he won't be folding PF. Does this change anything for you?

Hmmm.

If he has a wide range here (no A or K), calling off 1/2 of your stack and then folding when he may be almost drawing dead is pretty bad. If you win you'll get a near guaranteed 600 next hand, so like 8800. But you still need like 70% chance to win here. But I can't bear to fold here.

Meh, I push out of spite. And get pissed when his undercards river two pair against me.

It makes me want to push even more. It's not like you're likely to be flipping against AK here, or crushed by AA/KK. You're going to be a 2:1 favorite to have the monster stack on the bubble, and it's not like you're a lock to get ITM if you fold this.

Pa-hooooooooooosh.

[DyessMan89]

Auto-push. If there was a very small stack, I might play it a bit different. You should be a 2:1 favorite in this hand.

[TruFloridaGator]

I call, no guarantee for ITM...too good to pass up.

[pineapple888]

The only other option is calling, of course, but you still have BB to act behind you.

Personally, I would want to try to get heads-up with QQ, so I make the strongest play possible and push. But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

[bluefeet]

Well, BB is AI here whether I call or push. But certainly if I push over top he'd be less inclined to jump on with a decent Ace, medium PP himself.
