Too Tight on Bubble? 10+1
It's been a fairly long SNG, and the blinds are going up in the next minute. The raiser is pretty solid, but there's also a good chance that he's stealing and I have him dominated. On the other hand there's an almost as good chance he has a pocket pair, and then I'm a slight dog. If I call, I only have about 3 BB left, and likely bust on the bubble... Am I over-thinking this and playing too tight?

Yes. Too tight. Call. You think he's only pushing KK or AA?

Re: Too Tight on Bubble? 10+1
i might fold this one.. if it is a PP then its a slight -EV
but i dont have my poker stove.. and i didnt run the ICM. which might change my mind but i would use a little read to decide if i call or not |

Yeah, this one, you need to ask yourself if you're playing to win the tournament, or simply to make the money. Playing to win the tournament, I don't think you can fold here.

[/ QUOTE ] I ended up winning the whole thing anyways, I was just wondering how close, or bad, this fold was. I don't know, I just felt like it was the right thing to do at the time... I was about 50/50 calling/folding, and ended up going with folding this time - was it really that bad, considering the stacks and such? If I was a short stack OR a monster stack, it would have insta-called... But was this fold that horrible? |
Re: Too Tight on Bubble? 10+1
You folded the 4th best possible hand against a player who you had covered. Sorry but I can't fold that.

Re: Too Tight on Bubble? 10+1
It's pretty close. Even against a smaller ace or KQ, you're not THAT much of a favorite. Against any PP, it's a flip. Against two unders, you're a 5:3 favorite.
What might make this is a fold is stack size and position, and the fact that villain went all in from -->> UTG <<--. If it was the button, then it might be a call, since you can put him on a steal more easily. Also, the next hand, you'll be the button with the largest stack and big blinds, so you can steal a lot then.. I'm probably making a huge mistake, but I wouldn't call this here. I hope others see this thread and give me a kick in the ass [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |
