Re: Empire $200k, on the bubble, play or not?

minor detail, but I pushed with A6s and stole "2005"'s BB, wasn't the other way around. That was the best hand I saw before or after for over about 60 to 70 mins and I did push it.

I looked back and I did fold pocket 3's in the BB to a raiser and a caller, figuring calling all-in for a 3 way pot with 33 was pretty slim. The rest was the Q6, J2, 75 type crap I discribed. I guess I should pick a point beyond which I refuse to drop and push anything before the blinds hit. In sng's I generaly get to this point about 4 to 5x the BB, but am rarely having to push past a full table.

Any guidelines for that?

ah, forgot that one, still, seems like I'd be better off pushing crap than calling raises weak.

live and learn!

Re: What about JJ, QQ? TT?
 

My instinct is to play JJ and QQ, but ditch TT. I feel somewhat open to being convinced I'm wrong about JJ, but QQ seems to be not that difficult.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to add to this post Boooooom. Your instincts to play top 10 hands in a situation like this is pretty meaningless...

The question here discusses a marginal choice rather than an easy one which negates the calling with QQ or JJ idea...

AK is a top ten hand last time I checked

Re: What about JJ, QQ? TT?
 

I was only talking about the situation involving A6 as opposed to the original point about AK which of course is a top ten hand... thanks Apathy, your a pal.
