There are 19 left, 18 pay. 903.60 for cashing so its a fairly significant pay jump. I am obviously not a huge fan of "tourney life" or folding getting significant odds. However, I do believe in trying to maximize my expectation. The question is, is this a call or a fold? Folding here makes a little piece of my soul die but I think its probably the correct play.

I got this very small stack from losing a huge hand, doubling up and then getting 29o utg. I figured it was better to fold and call w/ any 2 in the BB. But then this happened.

If so, blinding away is not likely to get us into the money. I shove and pray and am likely out on teh bubble.

Yea, but there is a very high chance that utg+1 busts in this actual hand. Also the 100r bubble never lasts very long since everyone is trying to show how little they care about the bubble.

Re: Terrible money bubble spot in 100r
 

What goggles said... I'd fold a realllllllllly wide range here. Like AK is probably a fold.
