We are in push/fold mode with the stacks pretty even on the bubble. I have pushed 4 times without being called, and showing AK, AQ, pocket 7s and pocket 10s to gain respect. I like my push, but do you call with 3s in this situation?

Yes, and it's not really all that close.

ps: he'll be along to post soon

Re: $109 - Call my push with 3s?
 

Oh yeah? Who is he?

If this is correct to call then this may be a leak in my game. I just wanted to check with you guys. I personally don't like it because of the even chip stacks. Why is this not even close, considering my perceived tight pushing standards?

Ehm I dunno, just started playing the SNG's but isn't this call clearly -EV for him? Why try to double up at the ((problaby)50% (!) ) Chance of busting out here?

Yes, exactly my thoughts. But if someone can convince me otherwise, I'm open to it.

Because it's 1800 to call with 3000 in the pot. If he folds he's got 3.5bb.

He's not desperate for chips. In fact, he's the chip leader...just.

is that the only reason why it's not even close?

@Mr_J

Seems to me that there will be better opportunities coming then calling a push on the bubble, even with this low stack (that all players at the table have).

If his stack was even lower (way lower then now), the call might be justified...

(again, not sure, just trying to throw some common sense in)

Don't believe the hype, this is probably a fold against most opponents. This is what SNGPT is for, people should use it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
