Default Re: How hard should I own the bubble?

I hate the 4xBB raise. It makes restealing so much more difficult.

I don't think I like a resteal here. Do you have some indication villain cares about the final table bubble? It's a $150, so he should be less likely to care about the few hundred difference between 10th and 9th.

All this said, if he raised to 9k instead of 12k I wouldn't care at all. Just in my experience people that go 4xBB lay down far less than I would like them to.

button has you covered. You don't have the bubble threat. Hell, in a vacuum, this may actually be +EV, but not for any Bubble reasons.

Many tight players will play AA, KK, and QQ very strong during the bubble phase because they don't want to get outdrawn. Do you really want to your 3-6 to race against those hands? Easiest fold ever.

A 4xBB raise is often a strong hand someone doesn't want action on, such as AK-AQ or 88-QQ. Also your stack size is not big enough for a decent resteal. Villain is getting good pot odds to call. Plus you don't have villain covered, so you are not threatening to bust him. Fine to try this with a standard raising hand or atleast a standard limping/stealing/restealing hand, but not with junk.
