Default Re: ($27) Raise size question

Yes...we're talking PS here but IMO it doesn't much matter from a theoretical standpoint. Doubling up early is fine and all but it doesn't guarantee bully rights on the bubble. Those extra chips are worth less from an ICM tournament equity model. You are more likely to find a situation where you can obtain a big stack in a favorable configuration but you also have ended up with these superfluous chips at some cost. Is the cost worth it?

I don't think so. You, durron, et al. obviously do. I know MagnoliasFM or whomever definitely would agree with you.

So for this specific hand I'd like to think I'd play it like this:

Limp/fold
Limp/call, push flop action
Limp/call, raise ~500 to action
Limp/call, call flop
Limp/call/fold

1-3 are somewhat close I guess.
