My preflop raise left me with one chip remaining. I do this sometimes for fun but sometimes it pays off near the bubble. I guess logically I should have left myself with a little more chips if I had any inclination of a fold, but in this hand it worked out.

Thoughts on my play?

Not sure if you're joking.

OP, I agree that you should've left yourself with more. But this concept rocks until your opponents catch on. At the pathetic stakes that I play, this is gonna be huge.

TY.

This is absurd - when is your opponent ever going to allow you to remain on 1 chip?

If they have less chips, it doesn't matter. if they have more chips, they'll make you bet it.

Besides - the pot odds of your last chip are literally thousands to one - if you're folding, you're losing massive amounts of EV, except in weird situations where the payout structure is flat (eg, satellites with multiple entries for a higher tournament) and large numbers of players have already gone all-in.

I thought I wasn't, but I was definitely just being very stupid.
