[$33] Ace-Rag on bubble.

Is this a standard push, or can I afford to wait for a better situation?

You REALLY needed to open push this...it's not even close.

Any form of a "standard raise" holding less than 6bb's is a no-no. You're just begging for trouble from big stack. You need to maximize your FE by open pushing this and a TON of hands not as strong.

Seeing that you did raise, and got put in by Button...well, that sucks. But you're too far invested at this point, facing tremendous pot odds. Call and hope you're not dominated - flop trips if you are [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

oh i know i should have pushed and not bet like i did. the question was whether to push or fold.

how about this:

was it a weak fold?

Push.

Someone told me to buy SNG Power Tools. I listened to them and am richer for the experience. If you're regularly playing at the 33s, cough up the 79 bucks and get it.

Just a tad closer, but I push this as well. Absent a huge stack, or a shortie, you can reasonably expect pretty small calling ranges all around. These 225 chips are extremely important to you, as another swipe through the blinds is going to drop you down to 6bb's or so.
