Re: ak on bubble fold?
Tough one, depends on your reads.
Just know that even if you fold this, you are no way gauranteed to make top 3. |

Re: ak on bubble fold?
I'd push it, but with a slightly larger stack I think it's a fold (or if the short stack is slightly smaller). As things stand, if shorty manages to double up once, it's going to put you in a real bind. I'd take my chances here.

BB is short but he isn't that short. And if he doubles you're in pretty bad shape. I'd take my chances and push here.

Re: ak on bubble fold?
Hmm.. for me this is an easy push. Is that wrong? When would you NOT push this?

Re: ak on bubble fold?
i would play this, but I would call b/c a push makes it too easy for SB to fold and let me gambol against the big stack.

[/ QUOTE ] its the bubble and look at the shortstack. I dont see hero having much/if any FE by pushing. If UTG was tight/popping MRes a lot, a push is better I feel, but generally i call here. |

[/ QUOTE ] You make it sound as if you're in great shape over the shortstack if you call and then check-fold the flop. Also, I'm not worried about FE really. I know he doesn't have any by pushing. I'm not pushing because I think I have FE, I'm pushing because I likely have the best hand or am a very small dog, don't have a great shot at making the money by folding it, and want to see all 5 cards. I still fail to see any merit in calling to see a flop. You're going to miss 2/3 of the time and be in a tough spot when you do. |
