Re: $22 4 hands and bubbled out- How many mistakes
I really think you gotta push that AJ in the first hand. Yeah, the tiny stack is gonna be all-in on the next hand, but you're not really that much better off than him.
If he manages to double up on the next hand he'll have almost as many chips as you. There's 450 in the blinds, you've got a great hand for 4-handed poker PUSH! |

Re: $22 4 hands and bubbled out- How many mistakes
I push hand 1 but I suck at poker. 3xbb and AJos is too good to fold. If shorty wins the race you are going to be in a world of hurt.
hand 2 is a fold, you have a7os UTG with a short stack all in. Let the other stacks race with him and maybe you can fold a really awful bb. hand 3 yay i guess hand 4 folding here is atrocious. |

I think the only really big mistake was hand #1.

Re: $22 4 hands and bubbled out- How many mistakes
The thing about stealing in the blinds in hand one is even if succesful I am still way behind in third, and I am going to feel a right idiot when biggie calls the 600 and I go out with the shortie all in on the bb

Push this all day and the next. If all you do is steal, so be it but you want to have the big stack call your push in this case and AJ vs J3s or QTo is pretty well ahead. |

Re: $22 4 hands and bubbled out- How many mistakes
You are very likely way ahead. So if he calls you will probably double up and be in good position to win the tourney or at least finish second. If he folds (most likely...it is still a 2x+ BB raise) then you are rock solid for third. If by some small chance he beats you with a better hand or a suckout then you just need to tip your hat. In any event pushing definitely has positive value. And it isn't guaranteed that the short stack is eliminated next hand anyway.

Re: $22 4 hands and bubbled out- How many mistakes
I'm not convinced you misplayed #1. I think you're much better off with the tiny stack playing a random hand than with you playing a good hand, but one that's still only 2:1 against something like Q2o. This seems like a textbook case of "counterintuitive" bubble play (but then I don't play $20s and maybe this shows why I shouldn't be).
4 was just bad luck; the one hand remaining happened to be a monster that hit to become an even bigger monster. |

Re: $22 4 hands and bubbled out- How many mistakes
Yeah, this sucks. EVen though there is a shorty, I push the first hand. I'm still looking to win at this point and those t450 are ripe for picking. Second hand, boo, let the big stacks knock out shorty. If you had pushed AJ then on the forth hand your decision is much easy (fold). However, in your instance it is a push, sucks he woke up with a real hand.
Sometimes I think we worry too much about waiting for the shorty to bust that we end up just screwing ourselves over when they do double up. If the blinds had been 100/200, I might consider passing up on the AJ, but not at level 7. |

One. First you should push. Rest look like bad beat stories to me.
