Common Annoying SNG situation on the Bubbl,e
Say the chips are distributed as such:
(assuming 800 chip starting count) Hero - 1500 chips BS (Big stack) - 4500 Chips SM1 (Small stack #1) - 1200 Chips SM2 (Small stack #2) - 800 Chips Say the situation is as such: Blinds 150/300 BS is in the BB, SM2 is SB, you are UTG, SM1 is button you hold a decent hand, say in the range A5 - AT and K9 - KQ, or small mediuam pockets 22 - 99 - you know, less than premium hands but good late-tourney raising hands How do you approach this situation? You have a very good chance of busting the short stack since your hand probably beats his. What options do you have? a) You minrraise to 600 preflop, fold, SB shortie folds, big stack all in, or pulls a nasty stop and go when you miss flop and you fold , down to 900 chips and not looking pretty since the Big blind hits you b) You just call and hope the small stack goes all in and that the big stack just calls and u check it down c) open all in d) fold a)i've ran into big stacks that push multiple times , forcing me to push since big stack sniffs out i wanna get away fromt he hand if i can in order not to bust 4th place b) usulaly this never happens as most people are too dumb to check it down; or the big stack just raises you out of the pot and ur down and not looking pretty c) u dont wanna all in here and risk busting 4th when u are 2nd stacked... d) you can fold but you'd curse yourself if one of the other two shorties doubles up and you can't sleep well at night "shoulda coulda..." Thoughts? -Pancakeboy |
