Re: Isolating @ the bubble
[ QUOTE ]
i am a noob at sngs so could you please explain why you want to push here?
the main goal seems to knock utg out and get in the money, right? and your chances to knock him out are higher with the button still in the hand, right?
so it seems to me it's a call or fold situation preflop. i'd choose to call because the T127 won't hurt me. postflop i would ether push in case i hit or check/fold if i miss.
or am i completely off the track? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
[/ QUOTE ]I hadn't thought about this aspect of the hand.
my view is that generally if there's 4 left then your opponents will play you hard, i.e. not check things down hoping to get ITM. in this way by pushing you pick up the button's dead chips if he folds and you also get great odds in the actual hand.
the downside is the small stack has a greater chance of survival due to the buttons hand not being live. i guess it's player dependent.
