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

[Bigwig]

After rereading and seeing the sat/payout structure, it was most likely a good fold.

[Rushmore]

There is one great thing for you to learn from this hand.

You had not given any thought to what your gameplan was. If you had given it any real thought, you would have known what you wanted to do, and there's no chance you would have limped, of all things.

I haven't read all of the other posts, so I don't know if anyone else has said this, but this is a valuable thing to learn about your game. At this stage in a tournament, you should really know what your shot is, and be prepared to take it.

It's OK if that happens to be folding into a seat, if that's what you've decided.

But it's not OK not to have decided.

P.S. What would you have done with AA?

[Bob Bryant]

With AA I would have bet all in PF.

You say this with confidence. What must be assumed, then, was that the thought process was something along the following lines:

OK, if I get aces, I'll push. If I get kings, I'll limp. If I get queens, I'll...

and that just can't be right.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I'm just saying that your limp is awful, and it is the product of playing hand-for-hand against yourself.
