Re: $33 - Bubble squeeze play.

If Hero folds from the BB, he's down to <20% of chips, no? Does everybody out there think this is an easy fold?

Hmmm. Let's think about this.
Blinds are HUGE. Hero is in BB.
Villain makes what is essentially a min-raise. Which invites Hero "Let's cooperate to knock out Shorty."
Shorty calls. Has to, with any kind of hand.
So, let's say we call also. Donks LOVE the "check-down to knock somebody out" strategy, especially on the bubble.
So we're betting 600 to win 2930. Gotta love those odds. And if we lose to both, we're not yet kevorked.
Plus, we could always bluff the turn or something if a scare card falls.
As opposed to pushing pre-flop, when Villain might very likely say "Ahole. I was trying to be nice. I hate you, so I'm calling." Now we're risking much more.
I don't know. But in Donkland, maybe I call.
