Bubble situation with the 2nd best hand in Hold'em

[danstjohn]

I really never like folding KK unless you have an unbelievable read on someone and everything is on the line. KK is such a dominating hand he could just as easy had AK or maybe even KQs or an underpair.

Silly fold. You have to push here. If you are just playing to squeek in, stop playing tourneys. If you want to win, push.

Well, I don't agree with that in a satellite. But still, unless you are quite likely to fold your way into the money, this is a great spot to push and try to ensure yourself a seat.

I was about to post the same, but then realized it was a satellite, where the bubble beater gets the same as first gets.

So, he was playing to win.

That said, the very, very last thing you can do is limp-fold.

So the rest of the responses apply.
