Alright Irie, this one is really an interesting bubble hand

Me, UTG: 840
Button: 2400
Sb: 3840
BB: 920

Party $33 NLHE Sng
blinds 200/400

BB is a marginally winning player (in my estimation), possibly a 2+2er as I may remember seeing his name posted here before. Hero is dealt T2o, and does?

[WebGuySteve]

I'm not irie here, but, if this guy in the BB is AT ALL a thinking player, he's calling any 2. I think it's an easy fold, push with something better than average. Also, I think there's a reasonable chance that you will get a walk on the next hand, also one of the 2 big stacks may bust him. I don't see any other option than folding.

[bluefeet]

man, that DOES suck. the problem with pushing is more than 'he has to call' -- the price is toooo good for one, or both of the big stacks to not jump on board.

i have to fold this and pray 1) big dogs have something that can stand up to BB, and 2) BB calls.

if neither of you get involved during this--next orbit, i think you outlast hiim some pathetic 6 chips to 3 or something [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[AlcateL]

agree, first in vigorish doesn't apply here

[johnnybeef]

nope, if it gets folded around, i will go broke first.

[AlcateL]

personally i wouldn't push here unless i'm doyle brunson.

This isn't a really interesting bubble hand imo

[bluefeet]

yes...unless he folds to a push here:

you: 840-400-200 = 240
him: 920-400-200-400 = bust?

eh, either way - i think you have to fold here with this possibly going 2-3-4way (although if it gets 2-3way before it gets to BB, he's folding). again, the other two joining is a bigger concern for me as BB calling your push. it's only a minraise...with dead chips in the BB ta'boot. i'm jumping on if i'm big stack with mucho hands here.

[wookie]

You get one more chance on the next hand. Take it.

T2o is practically 72o. You may do better and can't do much worse.

The above analysis does not apply if you are Doyle Brunson. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[octaveshift]

Yuck. I think it's probably very close either way.

I tend to roll the dice in spots like this and the RNG decide if it was the right play or not.

[johnnybeef]

Ok, so put yourself in the shoes of the bb, utg has been aggressive and has gotten called and lost with the best of it 2 times en route to losing the chip lead......what range of hands do you call with.
