Re: Got knocked out following HOH advice
You must be aware of the hand range that is calling in this spot to know whether you should be pushing with 10x the BB.
In a $5 PP you could easily be getting called by AA-22, any ace, KQ, KJ, K10 and QJ.
Because of the wide calling range I would be more likely to raise here to 2.5 at a tight table with slightly more than 10x the BB. This close to the bubble there is a good shot that you might get a call with QQ and then a scary check/fold when an ace hits the board.
Don't blame Harrington he only provides ideas not a manual. Read books for ideas and incorporate them into your thinking.
