On the Bubble in an 11
Seat 1: Win_I_Die ( $3485 )
Seat 2: Prosvet ( $475 ) Seat 5: Burt_2r ( $2990 ) Seat 9: Xenod ( $1050 ) Trny:17004874 Level:4 Blinds(50/100) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Xenod [ Td Th ] Win_I_Die folds. Prosvet folds. Burt_2r raises [250]. I'm on the big blind. I thought long and hard before I acted here and am not entirely sure I did the right thing. I'm pretty sure it's push or fold here. |

Reraise all in. He's almost sure to fold since the short stack is so short.

Re: On the Bubble in an 11
Stop and go sucks here. Don't give him a cheap flop to catch some overcards.

Re: On the Bubble in an 11
.. and you can't stop and go. You're acting after him, he's in the small blind.
I think it's close, this, but I would probably push in a game situation. |

Re: On the Bubble in an 11
I totally agree with a push. There's a great chance the guy folds and if he doesn't, TT is too good 4handed to just dump in the face of what could easily be a steal attempt.
Hold your breath and push those chips in. |

Re: On the Bubble in an 11
Ended up pushing. He turned over AQ and caught a couple of Aces. Pretty representative of how things have been going lately...

Re: On the Bubble in an 11
That's how it goes. Playing scared, results-oriented poker is only going to hurt you in the long run though. So you took a tough hit in the short run. It happens.
Do the same thing next time too. It was the right play. |

Re: On the Bubble in an 11
Agreed. If the 475 stack had a lot less chips, like say 200, then I could see an argument for maybe folding. As it is, he still has 5bb, and you're a long way from ITM, as one double up and he's back to your stack.

Re: On the Bubble in an 11
And now for a contrary, female opinion:
I do not agree that it is push or fold here. Under the circumstances, I really would not knowingly want to engage in a coin flip with Burt_2r. My decision would be based on my read of this player. If he is a good 11 player, I would put him on a superior or coin flip hand and fold. If he is an average 11 player, I would put him on a coin flip to slightly inferior hand, call, and trust myself to do the right thing after I see the flop and Burt_2r's next action. If he is a poor player, I would put him on a random hand and move all in preflop. If I am to assume you had no read at all on Burt_2r at this point, then I would recommend you lean to the safe side and fold the tens. |
