My first $55 on the bubble

Hang on, he raised to 450 so 600 total? I thought he had raised to 300 making the amount he had put in 450. That changes things a bit if it's the former.

What? He raised to 450. 300 more for me to call. The total amount that he put in is 450.

Anyone who makes that sort of a raise without a very big starting hand is also the kind of player who folds getting proper pot odds to call. I see this type of play less now at the 55's than when I played the 33's, but it's there for sure. I have no problem with either pushing or folding, and I'm sure you can invent reasonable hand ranges based on your read so far to justify either one. When he calls with 99, you win Sklansky$.

And also anyone stupid enough to do this is also dumb enough to call with QJo after raising. Well, sometimes. Anyway his line was rubbish, he should have just pushed and have done with it.
