Re: Tricky bubble hand

hmm, I ran it...if the guy is really totally insane and will call with 22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs, then folding is probably reasonable (pushing would probably be reasonable too, +.1-.+2 or something). It's hard to put someone on that loose of a range though.

Pushing becomes a little clearer if you discount your fold EV for paying the big blind next hand.
If the table is passive I will sometimes raise to 500t and let it go if I get re-raised.(call the BB of course)

If this makes sense, if for some reason I was playing a 215, I'd push this. At a 22, you see more bigstacks making loose calls of pushes (this bigstack in particular) than pushing over a less than AI raise.
FWIW, I raised to 550, all folded to BB, who pushed. Of course I called, he had QJ, caught a Q.
Now the question is: did my less than AI raise tip him off that my hand was of medium strength or would he have called a push? I'm pretty sure he would have called a push but it is something to consider...
