Default Re: Couple bubble calls pushes and folds.

I dont really know about the first hand that is a play I usually do not make, but maybe its something I should be doing. The second one is a tough decision. Has the big stack been playing very aggressive and making big raises like that? I might make that call depending on my read on the big stack. I like the call in the third hand and would probably make the same call.

I agree with folding all 3.

1: This is very suspicious and even if he's fairly clueless and is doing something like limping with A6o, he'll nearly 100% call and he'll be favored. Also, you cut off the chance of the other short stack or big stack playing with him if you do this.

2: You'll have a better spot than this later. He's very likely to have you beat and it's very likely that you'll be able to steal later or have another short stack lose before you have to make a move.

3: You're in pretty good shape here -- this is a large portion of your stack and you're almost definitely a 50/50 at best! This is a definite fold. Also, when you just call, a blind can go over the top and force you to fold, making it even worse. You don't need to make a move here and you're cutting off the blinds from going after the short stack with a hand that's certainly better than yours.

I fold all three hands... this is the bubble, perhaps these calls would be correct in a winner-take-all tourney, but you don't need to get involved in the Q9 hand and you're giving up a lot of fold equity on the 55 hand.
