Default Re: 33 - Bubble hand, late in $11 Stars Rebuy

I see no reason to push this, your stack is plenty big to keep playing, and if you are called its a race or you are buried, but unless you run into 22 or A2 you are never is very good shape.

When I open push, I want live cards and 33 is too easily dominated.

Folding is ok too, but if you haven't been in a pot for a while its time to open raise anyhow.

I like a PF raise to 2.5BB's, and fold to a push. It turns this hand into a pure steal hand, but 33 isn't strong enough to play if re-raised.

Another line is to open limp. This goes against my normal game, but at this stage of the tourney, many players will see a monster if you open limp and play scared against you.

I hate open pushing before I'm forced to.

Regards,
Woodguy
