in 3rd on the bubble with a tinystack.

party 50+5

Tiny stack survived the blinds last round (he was at 35, doubled then split)

Seat 2: BB ( $3490 )
Seat 10: Hero (SB) ( $870 )
Seat 6: Button ( $5570 )
Seat 4: Tiny ( $70 )

Blinds are 100/200.

I'm the SB.

BB seems pretty typical as far as calling standards go.

I have A6o ... push?

If no, what do you need to push here?
If yes, what else are you pushing with?

I fold nearly everything here.

Probably play AA KK QQ and maybe JJ and AK.

I agree. Since you're vastly outchipped by two big stacks, winning an all-in will be less important than surviving the bubble.

yea I'd definitely fold this.

Nottom · #5 05-25-2005, 03:40 AM

Yeah that's what I figured.

Of course I'm a moran and pushed into Jacks and didn't suckout. Was my last SNG of the night too so there was no real excuse.

Fold everything dude. Be happy with 3rd...don't be a hero here.

I think thats taking it a bit too far.

In fact I think the original push could be closer thant a lot of people think. After looking at the ICM numbers its definately a fold, but with something like AT its much much closer and the main reason to fold would be because you anticipate being able to significantly outperform your ICM given $EV once ITM (which I would certainly expect to be able to do).

You almost always must be very aggressive on the bubble.

Note I said almost always. This is a very easy fold into the money. Even if you steal the blinds/double, it's not going to be easy to make it to 2nd or higher (if you don't bubble out). So why take extra risk when the teenystack will almost definitely be gone soon?
