Re: Mini-step 3 bubble play
 

.. should have folded preflop.

Pre-flop: Fold, I also like to call with almost any two when someone min-bets my BB, but this guy is the only stack that can hurt you. Stay out of pots with him!

Flop: Now that your in the hand, lead out 1/2 pot, if you get played back at dump the hand. Again, don't play a big pot with the only guy that can hurt you.

Wont let me edit anymore [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Anyway, I ended up check-raising a 3/4 pot sized-bet all in and he folded.

The bubble works both ways eh?

Probably a losing play in the long run though....

The tournament ended when I called a 3-way all in with AK (1/3 of stack) and was up against AJ, AQ, and KQ.

The guy with 600 ended up making 2nd and advanced to step4 with me!
