($22): Bigstack exploiting the bubble.

[xJMPx]

Is this standard, or is SB not short enough yet? Bubble is approximately three hands old, I only pushed the first one.

Not enough reward for the risk, too many players to act after you. Just be happy the shorty isnt on your immediate left.

I'm waiting for 100/200 to make this push.

fold. blinds arent big enough and SS isnt small enough

i dont like it. i dont think your stack is big enough and i dont think SBs stack is short enough. or something like that. just raise to 450, call SB, fold to BB. meh.

I would fold this pre-flop.

To make this particular push? ie., UTG pushing through three players? Or, are you waiting until 100/200 before you start pushing any two with your bigstack from any position?

If you're going to be an agro big stack, you need to pay more attention to the position of the other stacks involved.

I agree to some extent. I think an important part of being the aggro big stack is that 2 people are "competing" for third, and exploiting that. Here, the shortie is well defined, putting pressure on said short stack to double in next rotation. That's when I sweat the table hard.

Meaning? I'm aware that I'm first to act and the other stacks are going to act after me.

I'm also aware that the two medium stacks should be aware that that they have a significant lead over the shorty and will be real tight here. So, I'm really only worried about the shorty.

That being said, I'll take the advice of the previous posters that the blinds just aren't big enough and won't change my stack enough to make it worth it in this spot.

I'm just not sure what your advice is here.
