($60) QQ on the bubble

[bluefeet]

Seat 9 has been overly aggressive since 6-handed - with ever expanding push/call ranges. His stack has gone up and down like a yo-yo.

I'm pushing here.

[Ricardido]

Hes probably doing this with a medium ace or hands like KQ,AT etc. Id push.

[bluefeet]

Hmmmmm, lot of "push it!'s.

I tried to allude to this fact w/ my "read"...he won't be folding PF. Does this change anything for you?

It makes me want to push even more. It's not like you're likely to be flipping against AK here, or crushed by AA/KK. You're going to be a 2:1 favorite to have the monster stack on the bubble, and it's not like you're a lock to get ITM if you fold this.

Pa-hooooooooooosh.

The only other option is calling, of course, but you still have BB to act behind you.

Personally, I would want to try to get heads-up with QQ, so I make the strongest play possible and push. But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

[bluefeet]

Well, BB is AI here whether I call or push. But certainly if I push over top he'd be less inclined to jump on with a decent Ace, medium PP himself.

I think you're contradicting yourself here...

No, just probably didn't explain it well. Add to the first sentence "...if he elects to play the hand". The original riaser's raise was big enough to put BB AI. Pushing vs. calling wouldn't effect an "isolation" option, other than the fact that i mentioned - he'd be less likely to call the orginal raise. Which perhaps was the point you were making originally.

Don't care how often he calls, QQ is enormous in this spot. EZ push.
