is the \'worst case\' here BETTER than not getting involved?
PokerStars Game #2322478205: Tournament #11217395, Hold'em No Limit - Level VIII (200/400) - 2005/08/12 - 16:05:52 (ET)
Table '11217395 1' Seat #2 is the button Seat 2: bluefeet (4575 in chips) Seat 3: BTSinAustin (1740 in chips) Seat 4: digdug2000 (665 in chips) Seat 7: bejens (1445 in chips) Seat 8: 1BigDave (5075 in chips) BTSinAustin: posts small blind 200 digdug2000: posts big blind 400 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to bluefeet [8c 9h] bejens: folds 1BigDave: folds bluefeet: raises 1600 to 2000 BTSinAustin: folds digdug2000: calls 240 and is all-in I will readily admit that 98o probably doesn't hold up that great to BB's 'any two' here. My deciding factor was to keep SB from getting these chips. Something told me I could afford to donate t600 here. Worst case - creating 3 bubblers with 4BB's each, leaving me 2.5+:1 edge on all three...sitting to my immediate left. FPS maybe, but is my thinking justified IYO? l took this line for THIS reason. I was putting him in with any of my two actually.

Who cares if SB gets these chips! He's immediately on your right, if the bubble doesn't break, push any two into his SB, he will fold because the BB from this hand is short. I'm actually folding a very high percentage of my hands here.

i'd think sb is gonna raise any2 since bb is down to 200 chips and so sb can donate the chips instead of you, making the situation better for ya

Re: is the \'worst case\' here BETTER than not getting involved?
I don't like it. If you let the SB go after the BB here you will have 1 of 4 results.
BB folds, this would suck but is pretty unlikely. SB fold, this is fine for you. BB wins, this is fine as you still have plenty of leverage over the stacks on your left SB wins, you are now on the bubble with 2 short stacks behind you ... this is good also. If you push, well you get called and showdown crap which isn't going to help much when it comes time to steal all their blinds.
