$16 Stars: 10 10 pwning the bubble
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)
SB (t750) Hero (t5730) UTG (t4455) Button (t2565) Preflop: Hero is BB with Thttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...iles/spade.gif, Thttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...iles/heart.gif. 1 fold</font>, Button raises to t2565</font>, 2 folds</font>. Button has been somewhere in the middle on terms of how active he is on the bubble. Id wanna say hes pushing something like A8s+, A10+, 55+, KQs. I figured his hand is at least decent, either that or he has a lot of balls firing into the big stack with a really small stack in play. A) I can call, win, and easily take second and have a good chance at 1st B) I can call, lose, have smallish-medium sized stack and still have a good chance of finishing itm c) I can fold, and punish the bubble for a couple of more hands. Whats my best option here? |

I don't think I could fold here but I agree with you that TT isn't crushing his range.

Re: $16 Stars: 10 10 pwning the bubble
A) easily.
If the blinds are about to go up the very next hand and you decide to fold the TT, the stack sizes are a little more pwnable. If you're successful, you'll hopefully have >8k. But if you call here and win you'll have pretty much ~8.5k, the bubble broken, and a shorty with <2bbs that you can utilize for the money bubble. |

I really think people are losing it sometimes with that "pwn bubble idea", your goal is to maximize ev, and here you have a great spot to do that.
