I think he should fold and continue to abuse this bubble situation. He wants that short stack there so he can keep stealing pots.

That's a really good point. If it was me though, I'd want to get it over with.

Re: Harrington\'s 10:1 rule
 

In addition to any sort of bubble preservation that may be going on, its pretty likely Black had nothing and is just doing a bit of big stack bullying. Kondracki's all-in also is going to usually be a very strong hand to be reraising the person at the table most likely to call.

I'm not sure whats Harrington's 10:1 rule is (haven't read HOH2 yet) but I'd imagine it doesn't really apply here.

What hands would you fold there getting 2:1 with a huge stack?

A hand that you're certain is more than a 2:1 dog.

Sorry if I did; hard to keep track of everything right now, esp. w/this thread so stretched out.

Re: Harrington\'s 10:1 rule
 

as i said, and acidreign said before me, there could be other factors than just pot odds.

Doubtful. I think Nottom nailed this one.

Re: Harrington\'s 10:1 rule
 

Raymer basically won the tournament at this point last year. He says he went from 5mil in chips to 8mil while they were on the "TV bubble". These chips allowed him to run over the final table and maintain a healthy lead to apply pressure. Black seems to be a knowledgable tournament player and I would imagine he is aware that he is wasting a lot of potential by calling in this marginal +cEV situation. I think you may be underestimating how much can be gained by the big stack in a situation like this.

Re: Harrington\'s 10:1 rule
 

Black has put on about 1.5 or 2mil in chips since they went to 10.

Re: Harrington\'s 10:1 rule
 

yeah but how many tackles did raymer have for losses?
