Re: I folded AKs on the bubble tonight pre-flop. I felt dirty.
With the shortstack so low, I don't see how calling is even a consideration. Even if Button is pushing with any two (as he should), you are only 70-30 over 72o. I get the whole "double up and play for first" thing, but this is one of these times where you just gotta fold to the bigstack. There is a REASON why he should push any two - because he knows that you would need a monster to call if you're smart. This is a no-brainer here with shortstack at 1/2 BB. If I KNEW that button had 72o, I'm still not calling here. (Edit: If I couldn't see his cards, I'd call with aces or kings)
