Default Trying to balance this position and stack size stuff on the bubble

Bubble of a 4.4/180. I’m playing 18/13/3. Wouldn’t mind opening up more in LP, but opportunities haven’t been there. Table is playing generally tight with few resteals, but BB is abusing the bubble with his stack.



Hero (9111 in chips)
MP (7223 in chips)
CO (9762 in chips)
BU(3709 in chips)
SB (20203 in chips)
BB (29273 in chips)

Blinds 300/600/50, Hero is UTG with 22.

Hero???

Could fold.

I'd probably bump it 1500 and call a shove from the Button (obv) and fold to anyone else.

I think 22 is shove or fold. If you make it 1500, BB is going to push either pre flop or on the flop. With the table playing tight, you probably have enough folding equity to make shoving profitable. If the table (or even just the BB) is loose, I would fold 22 here and push with my next A.

i dont think you have to either shove or fold here... i really like shermans plan of bumping it to 1500, i think the majority of the time you take down the pit right there, and if the button pushes you flip for a decent pot... if you get repoped by anyone else, it sucks to lose that 1500, but its not devasting, and i dont really think you should calling all in with 22 unless you think you're really, really overmatched in the tourney

with your M=7,5 this is a push/fold decision - with 5 to act behind I fold.

I'd push 22 on the button, and from the CO if the table is tight.

I strongly disagree. Who says that, and what's the logic behind it?

With 15BB (11.5 BB if you apply Bonds "effective BB" concept) you still have room to see a flop with chips behind.

Not that I'd do it with 22 from UTG, which in effect would be a bluff - you're behind or flipping against any calling hand.
