I don't know if you would consider this a difficult situation or not. There were 19 players left in a Stars 4/180. As you know, 18 spots pay.

The blinds were 300/600 + 75. I had about 7,000 chips on the button. There were several smaller stacks.

At a 6-handed table, a player with about 7,500 chips opened the pot from UTG for 1,800. I pushed, and he flipped over pocket 9s. He then proceeded to flop a set, making the ace that hit on the river meaningless.

I think that I made the right decision -- pushing instead of just calling -- despite the bubble. If anyone thinks this was stupid, I'm sure you'll let me know!
