55, the bubble, a shortstack, and me

not pushing is a sin

come on man hahaha a sin!!??? I don't know I guess to each his own.

i'm baffled at how many people are folding this. The BB is going to fold in this situation unless hes a total monkey (which is true but hes the trying to fold into the money kind of monkey i'm assuming) in which case utg boy is gonna fold because hes a fold into the money kind of monkey too. If he wanted to play this hand he would have pushed. He wants to isolate the BB and hope he takes that down but not risk all his chips in case one of the big stacks wakes up with a hand behind him. (or in case one of the big stacks has a clue and will push with any 2 in this situation) If you have a bigger stack and you let a smaller stack start pushing you areound and isolating people you should find a different hobby. THis is like someone giving you a direct transfer into your account and its not a situation that comes along all that often.

this is like somebody transfering money into your account. All you have to do is push.

BB is tight as anything, I'm sorry this really should have gone in the original post. He's basically been blinded into the spot where he now resides. For those of you saying "fold, make the money", how exactly do I not make the money by folding? I have UTG covered.
