Re: Bubble, button pushes, SB calls, I have TT, have button covered
I think that is a sticky situation. I would probably call and check it down or call the flop. I don't know if that is correct, but it is likely what I would do. YOu don't really want to get the big stack out of the hand. And you don't want to have the all in high card the button at showdown.

Ugh, this is pretty bad, but you would have to lose to the short stack AND big stack to finish 4th.. although that happened to me in another game in a similar situation but I digress.. I think you probably should push, and pray the A-rag from the shorty doesn't hit along with the various rags from the big stack.

What do you gain from pushing? [/ QUOTE ] Ok. You could call but you'll be pretty much committed to doing a stop and go unless it comes with a truly horrible flop..

Re: Bubble, button pushes, SB calls, I have TT, have button covered
With stack sizes such as they are I don't think it is clear you want the big stack out of this hand. I don't think you have much FE anyway.
I think you have to call though because you have a strong hand and certainly can't be confident short stack will be beaten by big stack alone.

Re: Bubble, button pushes, SB calls, I have TT, have button covered
my thing with folding here is lets say they both hold two high unpaired overcards, something like AQ vs. AJ ... chances are one of those will hit ... ideally youd want the card to just hit the short stack so you can still take some money from a sidepot wiht the bigstack ... the other liekly situation is the small stack has a low pair in which case you'll be dominating him, while the big stack has two overcards which makes the overall situation a little worse than a coinflip ... i suppose you have no choice but go all in here since you'll most likely get 3rd if the big stack wins anyways
