Approaching bubble in stars WSOP satellite

[A__theKevlar__2]

you are 225/267 left in the stars WSOP qualifier, 220 seats get paid. blinds jsut went up. the guy that shoved is shoving any2 cards based on your read.

were playing as vegasgq and have KQo in the SB. fold and wait to shove, or go with it and try to double up and basically clinch? if you lose the hand, you're left w/ 10k chips.

sorry but couldn't get hand converter to work, might be because it's not my HH but I'm not sure.

I make my decision based on how big stacks are playing and how easy has it been to push any two in lp against their blinds. You have to shove next orbit if you fold this which I don't mind. I'm so hesitiant to call of my chips with kq but here we crush his range may be right play. My answer...fold and wait to push next hand though weafter prob pushes again if he's doing this in lp with any 2. I change my mind. call.

Calling is horrible without AA or KK. QQ might be a call but I'm folding JJ here and defiently folding AKs. You still have 8bb and FE agaisnt everyone at the table. Just wait for a spot where you are opening.

i want to be the shover and the one applying pressure on the bubble of big satellites like this, not the one calling off 2/3rds of my stack with KQ.

[Cornell Fiji]

absolutely fold JJ in this spot and probably fold QQ too. I guess KK is a call because if you win the hand the seat is yours but the decision on KK is probably closer than you think.
