Default Re: Ugly Bubble situation

You tried to chicken your way into 3rd. You had two good hands KTs (No.4, that was maybe too early), calling 2nd stack with AT and oushing KQ. You could've done something at that time. However, I sometimes play the same like you and settle for 3rd if I sense that the big guys are bullying and, more important, that the smallest stack is very weak (which he was here).
If that was your strategy, why did you deviate at the worst time from it? If you are capable to play the last hand why didn't you raise the better hands with more FE before? You should've stayed put. The small stack was no threat anymore. He could have tripled up to 180 at best (which he did). He still has to post the small blind at 200 and may drop out there. So the overall survival chance for the small stack going through your last hand and the next hand was only 25%.
