Re: bubble play question
Shortstack, 4 handed. Push. But then again I may be too aggressive. And I do sometimes push without enough information about the other peoples hands, because it's 4 handed though... do you feel safe with your ace not being dominated? If so push.

Re: bubble play question
Fold. There is too great a chance that one of the big stacks will call, given the stack sizes. A5o doesn't do well against their likely calling ranges. Just my gut feeling.

Re: bubble play question
I strongly disagree with the fold suggestion... an ace 4 handed should be assumed to be strong 4 handed with no information yet (especially with one fold). Don't know the exact math, but dealing out A4 with a deck, then shuffling and dealing two hands ace will most often be good. Raise perhaps, maybe even limp, but fold?

Re: bubble play question
Thx for the advice. Just wanted to see if u thought pushing was a terrible move.
I moved in and lost to the rock, who had QJ, and hit a J on flop. I call him a rock because thatīs how he played up until this point. |

[ QUOTE ]
Moving allin is correct, everything else is flat out terrible. [/ QUOTE ] OK, I accept that. Can you tell me where I went wrong? ICM gives 16.8% of prize pool for folding. If you Push and they fold, ICM gives 20.5% If you Push and win a showdown, ICM gives 26% Given the stack sizes, I estimated you'd be called perhaps 65% of the time, and would be a 55% favorite when called. So, pushing is .65*.55*.26 + .35*.205 or 16.5%, which is less than the 16.8% for folding. (There's also an outside possibility that the other short stack will wake up with a monster, but that's pretty remote.) Is my estimate of the likelihood of a call out of whack? Or is my estimate of my win % at showdown too low? (or both?) Hmmmm. Maybe I need eastbay's program. EDIT: Oh, S**t, I misread the OP. Didn't notice that one of the big stacks had folded. Forget all the above crap. GG |

Re: bubble play question
not a bad play at all.... i would be more than happen to play against a JQ.. you have no idea how many times i've won with aces against hands like that : ) i <3 aces.. i might have folded offsuit though depending on how i feel.. and on the bubble you have to be a little careful because it is RIGHT before the money ! !

Re: bubble play question
You should get Eastbay's program. It is +$EV even if you put both blinds on looser than the maniac setting, which means it really wouldn't matter if both blinds were big stacks.
