5+0.5, bubble, pissing contest with chip leader - insane right?

[jhfrudd]

Should I have cruised to the money or was I right to make a stand?

This is from VC poker - I tried pegoconverter but no joy.

Many thanks for comments....

You aren't "cruising" into the money with your stack. The only guy who is "cruising" is the big stack. Whether you should be tangling with the big stack on a flop like that when he raises you...well, I think you probably know the answer to that one.

thanks, but I did try the converter already. As I said, it only seems to work with a couple of sites.

What do you think of the hand - please anyone I am sure I made the right play.....

I'm check/folding here. Why get involved with the bigstack with TPNK and a monotone board?
