AJ on the bubble - $5 45-Person FTP SnG
 

Blinds are 300/600, my stack is just over T3000 I'm at around 5 BBs at this point. We are on the bubble with 7 people left.

Here's the situation:
The table is sort of your standard mix of mostly semiweak-semitight players with a few hilarious bigstacks spewing chips around.

I'm in the SB, and I pick up A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The action folds around to the CO who, with has shortish stack, minraises to 1200. The BB, who has a comfortable stack and plays plenty of pots, calls.

Is this an easy shove?

You have left out some very important imformation here.

Stack Sizes and reads on CO ??

The CO has about 10BBs, around T6000. I don't really have any solid reads on him, it's only been about a dozen hands. So far, I haven't seen him do anything terribly out of line, but he seems to be a little tricky.

I was hoping that you would have posted a converted Hand History here. Your description has the BB calling before you in the SB.

Also as its the bubble of a SNG other players stack sizes have to be considered.

well basically this is a simple shove.

as you are in the SB you could consider a stop'n go as alternative.


anyway with M=3 you def. want to bring all your chips in here.

I lost the HH, so I just typed it out. When I put BB, I was just sleepwalking and I meant to type button. So, in the OP, BB = button.

FWIW I'm the table shortstack, followed by a little less than half the field (including the CO) who hover in the 8-11BB range, while the majority of chips are controlled by maybe three or four bigstacks. None of the large stacks are involved in the hand, the button has a medium-sized stack and is comfortable in his chip position.

Easy shove. Don't overthink things, you are the shortstack (very short at that) and need chips.

This situation actually happened to a friend. He AIMs me (I'm railing him) and says "AJh...."
me "lol goodluck all-in"
him "FOLD 2 THE MONEY"
he folds.
me "what a terrible fold"

flop comes KKx, 2 spades. CO and button get it all in, CO has 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], button has KQ and turns the Q.

He ended up making last place money for a cool $6 profit. We argued about the hand (I said he should have instapushed, he said fold to money). He was trolling one dude at the table pretty hard, and his goal was to bust after he did. He did, in fact, bust after the person he was trolling, so mission accomplished.
