Bubble with 88. What is the correct move?
This is a $5 + 0.5 buy in tournament.
Blinds are 100/200. BB: 7000 SB: 1000 Button: 800 UTG: 6200 Button limps and you are the SB with 88. is this a push even if BB will call a good amount of the time? I am a new player, sorry if the question is too obvious. |

Yes, of course it is a push. Why wouldn't it be?

yes, its an easy push. The blinds are huge, and you have a damn good hand for this stage of the tournament.

i would only worry about what the button has (probably nothing) but god he's limping with 1/4 of his stack. anyway, push.

Re: Bubble with 88. What is the correct move?
yes Button limp is weird. My read was BB would call this around 50% of the time and I thought I had to fold, but felt I was doing a bad move.
At what stack size would you Not push this.. or does not really matter? Im not sure about that kind of things too. |

Re: Bubble with 88. What is the correct move?
I don't find button limping at all weird. It's one of the most typical errors of low buy-in sng players to open limp with all kinds of hands from various positions.
If you think button calls only 50% of the time, folding is absolutely 100% horrible. They are probably limping with very mediocre hands and your 8's should be well ahead of their hand range. 88 is worth a push here with any stack size that doesn't allow a reasonable smaller raise. |

Not button.. I say BB calls 50% or more - he is loose and has 7000 chips.

Re: Bubble with 88. What is the correct move?
Yes, of course. Sorry 'bout that.
I still think it's a clear push. You can't pass such a huge +CEV just because of a probably <35% or so chance of busting out. |

Re: Bubble with 88. What is the correct move?
i really dont see why the BB would call this unless he has a really really good hand... because it looks almost certain that the button would call (or at least he should).
