AKs Near the Bubble

[RacersEdge]

No one really commented on the bubble part of this hand.

Is there anyone who becomes the dreaded weak-tight here IF the goal were to finish in the money?

Does a bigger PF raise make more sense here - maybe to 5BB, again if finishing ITM is a goal?

Where are you at with respect to the bubble? Looks like somewhere around 60th-70th place as a guess. What are the stack sizes between 80th-90th? Those are likely to be small and will go fast. Hard to discuss further without knowing this.

Regardless, I don't know that the bubble consideration enters into it that much, if at all. You have a strong hand with a chance to extract a sizeable penalty from big stack, although it would be ok if the opponent folds. At worst, you take a beat and miss a minor payday. At best, you double up and give yourself a chance for a better payday.

I agree with the others to bet out strong and be prepared to go all the way. If close to the bubble on a medium-ish to small-ish stack, this is a nice situation to be in.

Nothing changes. Just bet 2k and call a push. Nothing difficult about this hand.

I thought this was an MTT.

Why would that be a goal?
