Re: Curtains Hand - A6o on bubble
"But if every single hand is getting raised ahead of Hero's rapidly-shrinking stack, I can see making this play as a lesser-of-two-evils compromise."
I disagree with this. You can always raise UTG. Meanwhile, if lots of hands are getting raised, someone else might call. And if someone raises and someone calls and neither of those someones are you, you gain tournament EV. So, unless you are sure that villain is raising any 2, or that he will fold too often to your reraise, I'd rather foldt his hand and just raise when its folded to you. moses |

Also, it's true that someone else may call one of the next few raises, but doesn't it become less & less likely as your stack shrinks & the medium stacks become more & more committed to waiting you out? also, it's not enough for someone to just call a preflop raise...someone actually has to bust, and it seems that with you this short your opponents are gonna be careful postflop as well as preflop. i'm definitely playing the devil's advocate as i've almost never made this push, but these points came to mind so i thought i'd throw them out there. |
