BDarch ??????

I was really unsure wat to do on this hand, with the two really short stacks I was almost gaurenteed an ITM finish if i folded but I felt 10 10 was far too strong to fold in this situation. I ended up pushing but didn't feel too right about it and was wondering what others would do here.

If you push you probably don't want a call, so your decision is based on how likely the BB is to call.

In most situations like this I fold - UTG will be all in (effectively) next hand. - w

Same with me, if BB calls a wide range here, you're not playing TT here.

At the $55's, TT is good enough to push, IMHO.

[BDarch]

yea if he was very loose in his calling I would have folded but so far we had been on the bubble for 4 orbits and he had folded his BB to me everytime, even to a minraise once.

[lastchance]

After a while, they're getting tired of your bullying, so meh...

Still, the $55's are not the $11's. I give your opponent enough credit to make pushing with TT profitable here.

well, in THAT case, you push because he is likely to get fed up and call you with do-do thinking you had worse do-do.

(apologies for all the technical jargon there.) - w

I'd be a pussy and fold this. Don't know how to calculate it or anything, but you have a good stack and the bubble's about to burst. My guts say the blinds aren't big enough compared to the risk.
