QJ on BB and Bubble

[mcj0014]

I'm not so sure I should have called the raise here. What do you think? My bubble play is hurting me.

With less than 4BB, you should definitely be raising all-in before the flop or folding. This concept is discussed often in this forum, and most people advocate push/fold with a stack less than 10BB.

If the chipleader has been preflop raising frequently, I would definitely push. Otherwise, dump it and push any hand when the action is folded to you.

I either fold or push preflop at this point, depending on what I think my opponent would raise with and if he could fold to my push.

That said, I don't think it was bad play on the flop.

If I type it enough times maybe I'll finally remember it and quit asking dumb questions.
