Never take chances on the bubble

[fnurt]

Stars rebuy, about 5 or 6 players to be eliminated before the money. My stack is on the small side. I could most likely fold into the money however.

Keep in mind I haven't played a tournament in several months and have forgotten anything I ever knew about poker.

ok, sorry to hijack, but I was about to post this 20/180 bubble hand (19 left) myself...villain has been taking more than his share of pots uncontested around the bubble and has also re-raised from button and BB recently and taken both down pre-flop.

I've been quieter and have folded to a re-raise pre-flop a few hands back.

In the hijack hand, your read screams call, as well as your stack size. I would not fold 88 against an active player in a steal position. This is probably the result you want with your hand, as pushing might make him fold a weaker hand that he may decide to steal with (like Ax).

To answer your question I think I would've rather just pushed my 11k PF. Given you're on the button and "stealing" I think SB's range here is pretty big and I would call and expect to see a flip.

This is a perfect spot for a stop and go since the OP is out of position and probably doesn't have enough chips to make the villan fold PF
