Default Re: ($109) Bubble with micro stack - I feel like such a donk

You musn't go broke here. Think if he pushed and you were calling. This is one of those AA, maybe KK spots because you need to have like an 75% chance of winning. That's not the situation, but you still need an extremely large chance of winning. He made a scary raise preflop and could easily have trips or an overpair and he has you covered by enough that he will still likely be ITM if he calls and loses.

I'm torn though between checking and only calling reasonable bets or leading out with about 1000 with the possibility of a tragic laydown, but with 2nd or 3rd place still most likely. I'll sorta cop out and say it depends on whether I think he is so aggressive he will pwn most any bet I make.

Curtains' hand mentioned later is a lot different as it isn't on the bubble and he has about twice the stack of villian, but I don't see how getting villain to fold there when you are on a draw doesn't count as allowing him to make a mistake. Not that the check/raise isn't better. link
