$50 50K bubble spot...short stacked...BVB push okay?
 

Pokerstars $50 50K...1100 runners and we are down to 160 or so (10 more spot to $)...I have been card dead for a while and struggling to maintain my tiny chip stack at an aggressive table...watching some poor players who are willing to call light so I've been playing my strong hands (few that I got) strong but just folding most borderline hands...

Villan has been quiet so no real read...he does not play too many hands...After posting BB I am down to 7BB (M=3.5ish) so I am a lock if I want to limp into the money...

Course limping into the money was the old me! Is this play correct and a good spot to pad our stack with the $2200 in the middle? I can't see a single alternate line but love to hear some opinions...thanks

I'd push pre especially since you described him as tight.

that's pushing things a bit IMO...why risk tourney on chance he may call my paltry stack light...I said tight but even a goo tight player should have a feel for my stack and understand that I could do this with any two

if you are scared to push preflop then fold preflop.

umm...I'm in the BB...are ou guys even reading the hand? Oh and I can be accused of many things but fear of pushing is usually pretty low on the list...

Im not a huge fan of the play here though i can see why you done it

Whats the SB been playin like, has he tried stealin your BB much or always completing? I surprised nearing bubble time a big stack only makes up the blind vs a short stack

Well at least youve taken the difficlut decsion away from yourself as by bettin the flop you may well have committed yourself to callin a chk raise

I still think i bet 1000 and puke if he chk raises

pre results question
 

think the hand is interesting only because of what the villan turned up...any guesses??

results
 

SB called with a slow played AA
