Default Re: On the bubble, how do you play this hand?

knowing how aggressively i play on the bubble, especially with a shorter stack involved in the hand and the fact that i have TPDK w/ a Straight draw, i probably would have bet 600-800 into the flop, looking to see if either folded. for one, this forces the shortstack BB to expend more chips to stay in the hand if he's running behind and two, the same for the bigger stack, yet it allows you to check on the turn and see how aggressively he bets at the pot or if he checks with you. either way, if you've payed close enough attention to how the big stack has played throughout the SNG, it may tell you where you stand in the hand. K 10o is not all that great of a hand but considering the flop, it strengthens your holding alot. betting the pot or a little more on the pot saves you from having to bet into a nasty turn and also saves you valuable chips in an advantage over the somewhat over-extended shortstack if you have to fold.
