Bubble hand, two draws on the flop.

[bennies]

I'm in second chip position and I'm wondering if gambling here is worth it.



Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter

Button (t975)
Hero (t2215)
BB (t3487)
UTG (t1323)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

On the bubble I usually like to play strong draws VERY STRONG and AGGRESSIVELY. However, on this hand I think you're making a horrible mistake because you have a healthy chip stack AND there is NOT very much money in the pot so you're bet is definitely an overbet IMO. You should just lead out and bet the pot here and see what happens.

To make the risk-reward ratio a bit higher, I'd consider a check raise all-in.

I like it because he's basically gotta fold, and you're not too bad if he calls.

I think I agree.

You've got a ton of outs, and that with a good amount of FE should be good here. <font color="brown"> </font>

I hate this play, but I love a CR all-in.

You've got a monster draw, not much money invested in the pot, and your getting to drastically overbet the pot? Why? Check-raise or check-call is better.

[jeffraider]

Your draw is good enough that this play isn't that bad but I'm with the check-raise all-in crowd.

What happens if he checks, and someone else goes all-in?

Fold. Not going to gamble my chips off on the bubble with a decent stack on a 55/45.
