Re: 55 Bubble play
 

This is really read dependant. But with almost no fold equity, I'm leaning toward a fold.

Fold.

His range has to be massive, or he has to be folding alot. I don't think either of those are true.

Equal stacks all around, this is a fold for me. Hate to give it up, but you aren't willingly in the pot FIRST for most of your chips. Plus, the bet smells funny.

Happy chips! SlackaMcTriptofanned

Ok now what if he had just open pushed. Is it still or a fold or do you believe his range for pushing is wider that his raising range? I am having a tough time thinking this is an easy fold. I only have alittle over 4BB as does everyone else so i think raising and pushing ranges have to be huge so doesn't the calling range need to open up as well.

Re: 55 Bubble play
 

It's difficult to answer w/o knowing how the players got to their current chip counts; however, I don't think it's an "easy" fold because of the chipstack/blind ratio...You're gonna be faced with an allin decision on the BB anyway, so maybe AJsuited is as good as it's gonna get. Keep in mind that I have the benefit of a SlackerMcSuckPlayer opinion, so it's pretty meh to vote the other side [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: 55 Bubble play
 

I think I agree with Skip here, which is disturbing in itself. This is so read dependent, not just on the bettor but the table in general. If it's been hyper aggr, my chips cant get in the middle quick enough. If it's been passive, I probably wait knowing I can get other spots to steal myself.

Keep the on-topic posts coming, skip. There's still time to win over some of the haters.
