4 folds, Hero - ?

188 left to 162 and the big $1 payoff. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I was crippled 3 orbits ago and haven't been very active, so I still believe I have a conservative image.

-CO is loose/moron, hence the healthy stack
-BTN is sitting out
-SB & BB are weak/tight

easy fold

you have 10BB left, which you can use much better than calling in a situation where you are at best a 55% favorite.

Thanks,
I think what I'm really asking here is whether or not
the combined information (bubble + w/t blinds)
should allow me to loosen up and shove marginal hands like A3o in LP.

First, I think lev misread the hand since it folded to you in the HJ. I think I'd shove here, you have a ton of FE over the blinds, the only one who's really worrying you is the CO, and he's just one guy.

??? was this post edited? i'm quite sure that someone pushed all-in and it was a question to call or not to call with A3.

maybe i just misread it - still at work [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

so if it's folded to you in in CO with A3o it's rather close I think - but with 4 to act still a fold to me also if the table on the bubble is tight - i'd push with A8s,A9o+

Yeah in a normal spot I'd fold this here too, but you have the blinds being weak/tight, short, and we're only 20 from the money. Also, button is sitting out. I don't think CO is enough to make this a fold considering all the other good factors.

Yes you are right - so now we really get close to a push

[pokerscaresme]

Thanks for responding,
I'm usually too tight at this stage..
Still trying to figure it out

[BrandiFan]

If you get the idea that SB and BB are hoping to sneak into the money, lol, easy push. Otherwise it's close and you can find a better spot vs these donks imo.

this is so pushable every time.... your M is fast approaching the danger zone.... shove this against the shorties. let the loosey goose big stack call you w/ K hi and get some of your chips back
