\"solid\" players have NO concept of bubble play
 

Have played with villian before. Seemed solid until this. (Party $22).

Small stack is all in next hand with blinds and this guy makes a call like this.

PS, NOT a bad beat post, still got 1st place.

Just blows my mind.

I fold this PF based on BB's and UTG's stacks. I'd rather deal with him on my own terms and not in pushbot mode.

Well, you're missing out on lots of opportunities to pickup chips via bullying if you fold this PF. Also, I don't think OP was asking...he was just demonstrating the lack of basic bubble knowledge by many out there playing 22's.

Any 2 are getting pushed here. This is a winfall for the hero.

I don't get the point of posting this. Someone at the 22s sucks at bubble play? Not exactly a revelation. People will call you with any pair when they shouldn't? Okay...those of us who have played more than 20 games could have told you that.

Not to be a dick, but c'mon man. This hand is remarkably unremarkable.

You may be correct, I just don't think a push here with level 6 blinds is that much of a winfall. Now if the stacks were different, I could see it. Granted, the BB is only calling with AA or maybe KK, but I'd much rather push any two on level 7 or higher on the bubble.

Re: \"solid\" players have NO concept of bubble play
 

Bad push by hero. Why are you risking that many chips on that hand? You aren't a short stack buddy. Stealing is one thing, but why risk being called by the BB?

Calling with a pair certainly isn't the best, but your play isn't top notch either.

Moral of the story: OP's claim in the subject line is spot on.
