$75 MTT on FT Bubble Monster
 

Sorry i couldnt get a converter to work for a MTT HH. $75 MTT on FT on bubble. Table is playing fairly tight. I have pushed a few times so my image isnt great but is still dont think anyone is calling light here. I am pretty sure I am well ahead of his range but at the same time is it worth pushing here? If i lose to him i only have 4BB and also somebody could pick up a hand behind me. Im guessing TT+ and AK calls behind me. Should spots like this be avoided because I can use fold equity against tight players so effectively on the bubble? IF so what should i do with AK or JJ?

Push

If it was folded to you, would you fold? Because with your shallow stack, pushing is the only play you can do.

His push also protects you from hands like 44-99, since they're unlikely to overcall 2 all ins.

Folding here is horrible, considering folding here is horrible. You wanna finnish 8th, or win the hole thing?

no id was goingn to push if folded to me because the pot was so big PF. What about picking up pots without a showdown by exploiting the bubble? Isnt fold equity a huge part of MTTs especially on the bubble?

PFFFFFFFFT!!

You have no chips, therefore you can't push people around and exploit the bubble, since every pot you play at those blinds with this stack will be for your entire stack.

If you don't get your chips in here you really shouldn't play MTTs.

In this spot, you should jam that call button so hard that your finger bruises. If you aren't doing this, perhaps you should play a few more 10s and 20s before hitting the 75.
