Re: Poll: Calling standards on bubble when BB will be all in next hand.
I have absolutely no problem sounding weaker than weak when I say I would fold them all. Yes, even KK. The guy putting me all in could have an ace, and hit it. I've placed in the money so many times in sng's that I feel my strategy on this is right, but I wouldn't disagree AT ALL with someone that would say he would call with every single hand you just spoke of. In fact, I encourage him. Why?
Example:
Last night, I'm in the BB with 750 (down to three of us, so I'm in the money). SB has roughly 3K, and the button has around 10k (PS starts with 1500 stacks, and 9 people).
Anyhow, the button raises what would put me all in with KJ suited. The SB calls the raise. We're at 400/800, so I think, let them do battle (side note, I would have called had the SB not called). Long story short, the SB goes out and I've got even more money. Couldn't come back on the big stack though. So, I generally make money because of the players that feel that they are "playing to win."
Again, I don't want to seem like I think other people's way is wrong. It most definitely is not. I'm just putting my opinion in.
