Default Re: $5.50R turbo WSOP Sat - calling All In before bubble?

[ QUOTE ]
I agree fold, but do you push AK? What about AQs?
I do, but i've been bubbling a lot lately and am needing to re-look my strategy. (not a math guy, so that may be the answer - study the numbers)

AK, yes ... AQ, probably. Now you're getting up into likely 63-67% equity against your opponent's range, and that's probably enough to justify a call. JJ+ I'm calling. And its also a consideration that even if you lose this hand, you aren't out, you still have enough chips to get right back into the fray with 1 double-up.

Like I said, you're already probably like 50% to get a prize here. Doubling up once probably puts your chances up near 100%, looking at the stack sizes. But folding here doesn't cut your chances at all, and I think if you're halfway decent/don't run into a monster, you could get the chips you need to stay afloat by just stealing blinds once or twice an orbit as first in.
