Re: Short stack play on the bubble
So many hands have you dominated K-AHigh, a pair. All of those are race situtations. Do you want to risk being in the money for a 50/50 or 40/60 or worse? I'd fold and see what comes next.

Re: Short stack play on the bubble
I think you fold there because that big blind is coming around in a hurry and it will hit the $600 stack first. Plus it lets you see some more hands and hope for a better opportuity to push

Re: Short stack play on the bubble
You can't just fold into the money here, you'll be blinded off before (well, on the same hand as) the other small stack.
Push. You need to get lucky anyway, and you're being offered huge odds (1280:530), which is enough even if you think he's got you dominated. Plus, with only two ministacks to act, he could be raising with a wide range and hoping you're both in fold and pray mode. |

Re: Short stack play on the bubble
I would fold, I like to have something when I know I am going to be called and you are likely be called. If you were first in though it would be easy

[/ QUOTE ] This was my thought exactly, I'm already in for T300 on this hand, so I have 530 left. If I fold this I'll be the smallest stack on the table and have to put up T150 for SB next hand. If I know both of my cards are alive, I'm willing to gamble 530 for 1280.(When he calls my all in) Any other thoughts? |

Re: Short stack play on the bubble
I was going to vote fold, but if the villain is aggressive I might actually push here (actually I would stop and go even though it won't matter). The other SS can wait you out if he chooses and you'll basically be flipping coins with him to get ITM. Folding also crushes your chances for 1st. If the villain would only do this with a somewhat decent hand I would probably fold though.

Re: Short stack play on the bubble
I'm not sure it matters here because you stack is so small, but has villain been consistently raising 2xBB?

Re: Short stack play on the bubble
I think you have to play this hand. You are out of time to hope that you get a better hand. It is not a great heads up hand, but there are much worse hands that you may be forced to play later if you fold here. You also have pretty good odds.
