Bubble, AQ faces raise in BB

[pergesu]

Normally I instapush here. But I've been trying to get away from crappy calls on the bubble, where I need a super huge hand to call. DasLeben says he hates my fold. But everyone knows I'm better than him anyway.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t1040)

Final Pot: t2150

Push. Id put button on AJ A 10 etc .. you dont have enough chips , this could very well be your best spot. I think its instapush 100% of time. Dont worry, this is defenitely not a crappy bubble call.

I would definately push here

Totally agree... A lot of players (escpecially on the bubble and button) are trying to steal pots at these levels, Although, you shouldn't put him on absolute rags, you could easily put him on a low PP or AX. At worst your in a coinflip and more often then not, you're dominating.

do you fold AK here also?

[pergesu]

I think it was a mistake to fold AQ here. So folding AK would be a mistake as well.

I probably just outthought myself on this one. There have been a bunch of hands where I thought I should call, but ICM says I need QQ+ to call.

I just love your position way too much if you do win this hand to fold here.

[pergesu]

I agree. I screwed up here.
