$525 bubble hand that I watched.
 

the converter doesn't like it when you are trying to convert an observed hand so.. forgive the messy post. I watched this hand and the big stack berated the caller so badly that it made me curious what you all would say about his call.

Pretty easy call if DCJ has been using his big stack on the bubble to bully, which he should be.

Re: $525 bubble hand that I watched.
 

60% of hands is the +EV point, and since he SHOULD be pushing with more than that, QJ is a call. If you open it up to 75%, its +1% EV, which is huuuge.

Looks fine. Now if SB was the one to call with QJo then him yelling would make more sense.

Re: $525 bubble hand that I watched.
 

if bb folds here, he'll have about 1/2 of the next stack. you can start making kinda thin bubble calls when it gets to that position.

Pretty easy call if you are able to think at this point and your hand is not shaking like a lunatic at the prospect of flipping for about 1k.
