This certainly is not what you want....on the bubble with anyone moderately short you almost never want to be 'looked up.'

However, the good news is he won't look you up too often and with your hand you will be ahead of just about anything he'll look you up anyway with which makes it a very, very, very, very, very easy push.

Yes...I see now it looks like you set yourself straight....much better than just taking curtains word for anything, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Mainly b/c you won't be able to call him up every time you're on the bubble in a STT.

I love losing big pots with AK.

I push.

[tigerite]

It's a no brainer push for me

How can you not push AK here? I dont see an option for anything else. Push it.

I would move allin and I don't even consider any other option here.

I posted this hand because I was called with TT. And the thought went through my mind, as I was sitting on the sidelines, "did I need to be in this pot?" At first glance, I thought "push" just like all the noob post responses I got in this thread.

It's interesting to note, if shorty had just one chip, I'd bet the majority response would be complete or fold. Anyway, in retrospect, this looks like a better hand/opportunity to try and trap with rather than just push monkey it.

Flame away....

DO NOT TRAP WITH AK HERE
You need to see the whole board, and frankly, you don't even want to have to go to a showdown anyway. If you don't take my advice, you'll start trapping in retarded spots and eventually you'll pull something like this (I'm ashamed to even post this and no, I don't want commentary as I already knnow its FPS gone wild)

It's a disease... trust me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just curious Scuba...if you don't push your options are

Complete and he raises
-or-
Raise and he comes over the top thinking you are stealing
-or -
Raise, he calls then comes over the top with one or zero overcards on the flop

What do you do when he raises?

Scuba this was a clear allin, don't be results oriented.
