Microstakes Bubble play
36 man satelite into the 100k so 7 people get paid. 7th gets 6$ and the rest get the 10$ entry. Tourney buy in is 2$. I am 5/8 and 2 people are at 1.5k and the sb is slightly lower than me.
Blinds are 1000/500, Button (Me): 4800 chips SB (X): 4800 chips BB (X): 9000 chips I get dealt A8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] It folds around to me.I shove. I didn't want to but I was told it was a good shove? BB calls with AQ and I don't hit my flush. Is this a good shove? IMO it isn't since those 2 players have 1 blind. |

Re: Microstakes Bubble play
fold any hand, you just said 2 players only have 1.5 bb, you have almost 5. and an entire orbit for players to be eliminated until the blinds hit you again

Re: Microstakes Bubble play
Ya I think this is a fold every hand. Though I'm not sure about AA.

Re: Microstakes Bubble play
Number one rule of Satallites, never ever forget why you are there. I did this once, in almost the exact same situation, and paid dearly for it, when there were 30 ppl to qualify, it's down to 31 ppl, and I make the mistake of even looking at my cards.
I'm in the BB, and the button (who is the chip leader) makes a button move after many call the BB (which is 1k), and raises it up to 5k. I have 13k left, about 4 at my table only have about 5k or less. I look down, and you guessed it, I got pocket aces. I don't know anyone who once they see AA as their hole cards, will fold it (myself included). I go all in, everyone folds to the button, he says, I was just making a move, but now, I'm priced in (I can already feel the hoover warming up in the background). He then goes on to say, I figure you got AA, and if thats so, then I have two live cards. He calls, proceeds to turn over 7, duce o/s. Flop is 7, 7, duce, I don't get any ace on the turn or river, and I'm out as the bubble girl in 31st place. Thus, I learned two lessons here (the hard way). 1) Always remember why I'm there in the first place (to win a seat into a bigger event) 2) If in a Satallite event, and you are close to the bubble where you'd qualify, and you have other players shorter stacked than you are, don't even bother to look at your cards, just fold them sight unseen. |

Re: Microstakes Bubble play
Even if you push with A8 and get called by A7 you have a chance to lose vs 100% chance to win if you wait for 1 of the 3 people below you to bust. Especially when 2 people only have 1.5k with the blinds at 500/1k, you are almost certain to outlast them even if you fell asleep.

Re: Microstakes Bubble play
It was incorrect and foolish for BB to risk half his stack when he could have folded and coasted to a seat. Still your best play here with your stack and some micro stacks ready to go out is to fold.
