Default Re: $ 3.4 at pokerstars - on the bubble - 86o totally dumb?

There are times when chip preservation is more important than pot odds, and I think this hand qualifies. If your hand was stronger I could see a call but even given the pot odds 86o is just too weak to beat two hands that are very likely better.

But this is this bubble. Isn't the increase in equity gained by bursting the bubble combined with the increased liklihood of this happening if shorty is up against two hands greater than the equity lost by losing 200 chips?

Oh yeah, you're right - I misread the hand and didn't realise that OP was getting like 6:1 pot odds, my bad.

I definitely agree that checking down the hand is the right play though.
