Default Re: (22) 1xBB left 88

All in all tuff one because you are throwing your chips against lots of overcards, and if SB wins the hands you're bubble boy too (obviously, if you had slightly more than BB i would be an autopush), here it is a close decision, but I would call.

Here are my reasons for calling:
-If you fold SB might fold (i would to preserve the bubble, with 5k in chips I'll try to keep it up and bully the 2nd stack until I have 6/7k, donkey players might fold also for a totally different reason: not understanding the odds). The probabity of SB folding is the absolute key for this decision. If BB gets a free walk it is a DISASTER for you.

-If you triple up you have a decent shot at more than third, wich I believe is a key in these types of decisions

-BB is already all in and therefore you do not give him a freeroll. If he had the option to fold an extra 10 chips I am not sure how this would affect your play.
