($100) home tourney Bubble time

[johnny005]

This was at a Home tourney with $100 buyin... 25 players we are down to 6 players and 4 get paid... 1000,750,500,250 payouts...

There is 250,000 at the table and I'm sitting with around 31k.

Blinds are 2000-4000...
Hero posts 4000. UTG FOLDS, MP FOLDS, CO raise to 10,000, BUT FOLDS SMALL BLIND FOLDS.


Now CO is chip leader in this hand with about 50-60 thousand I couldnt get exact count cause he was sitting at the other end of the table... semi loose aggressive player.. I put him on any face cards or pocket pair. maybe any ace too.

I look down at KQc Hero......

Let me know what you would do and why.. I'll give you an update after.

I think you should call here, and look to outplay him on the flop, unless you feel like you have enough FE to push. Also, the other chip counts are vital.

Ok Since i didnt post the other chips here they are...
Utg 30k... MP 40k, CO 50-60k, BUT 40k, SB 35, Hero 40k

I like calling and pushing every nonace flop(or maybe if it comes qqk).

Stack sizes of the other players and their relative position to you, also reads are extremely important. These can make the difference between a fold, call or push.

So no real short stacks. Hmmm. Has he been calling pushes at all?

[johnny005]

Yeah he was definetly call pushes from all but one player (he was playing only premium cards) So I thought It was highly likely i get called if I push.

[tigerite]

KQc doesn't go too well against any ace, any pair, or any two face cards if he's gonna call your push, so I think definitely call.

[johnny005]

Thats what I was thinking.... But I cant really fold KQc for only 6000 more right. SO I called... Now for the fun part.
FLOP

Pot:22000.. Hero has 30,000 left..
