Step 2 bubble
 

other shortie seems like a decent player, IE knows push/fold
him and i have both been staying alive the last 3 or 4 rounds by stealing blinds. also, this is a turbo, so blinds are going up faster than regular SNG.

seems like a pretty marginal spot. he's shoved 2 of the last 3 hands UTG I believe. my gut said to call immediately but it'd be nice to have some input from more experienced step players.

what's the payout? 1/1/0?

Re: Step 2 bubble
 

sorry, forgot that.
1 &amp; 2 move up to Step 3, 3rd stays at Step 2.

turbo steps????

Re: Step 2 bubble
 

the lower appt steps are turbos

I'm no expert, but I'd have let it go. You don't need to get desperate yet so you can wait for a better spot. Heck, the other shortie could bust out the next hand pullin' the same stunt and running into a monster.

What ended up happening?

Re: Step 2 bubble
 

To call this I think his range needs to be Any pair, JTs+, K7s+, K9o+, any ace any pair or WIDER

Re: Step 2 bubble
 

i thought he was shoving pretty wide, and can't really see him folding something like K7s, JTs, or any Ax here with his chipstack. anyway, he had QQ (lol) and i won because i'm good at poker.

turbo steps is fun [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
