Ministep 4 - Two Hands on Bubble

Chipleader has very large stack. I've got 3 times the small stack in both hands. 1st and 2nd move to Step 5. What do you do?

Hand 1
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (3 handed)
SB (t580)
Hero (t1760)
Button (t7660)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J <font color="black"> </font> h, Ac.
Button raises to t7660 (All-In)
Hero?


Hand 2
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) converter

BB (t430)
Hero (t1310)
SB (t8260)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t800</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t8260 (All-In)</font>, BB calls t30 (All-In), Hero?

Have to call - if you fold and BB wins the hand, he's up to t1200, and you're dead with t500. Plus, QQ just isn't going to lose to both hands very often at all.

PS Next time, just push rather than raise where SB can move you off the hand..

Call, BB was obviously forced to call in this situation, so assume he has a random hand. Your QQ plus even just another random hand from the SB is a huge favorite against BB's random hand. If the BB is just heads up against the SB, then the shortstack is probably no worse than 3:1 to triple up, leaving you in a seriously terrible position if he hits.

There are two hands. The converter did not work properly on the first. Any comments on Hand # 1?

Well Hand #1 is the easiest fold in the world.
