Default Re: near bubble in a $20 MTT, thoughts on this hand

I had two main reasons for folding, one was that I could easily put AA and KK into the big stacks hand range. Barring that even, I got to think this is a likely AK situation, and if I'm lucky they're sharing an ace. Also, I just felt I could find a better situation then this, I only have my BB invested in this pot, if I had open raised UTG i would have been more inclined to call. I just felt like with my chip stack I could pick off a better spot than this. It was a very tough decision though that ate up a lot of my time bank.

Without reads, I'd fold. If I have atlas as pretty loose AND not a decent player, I'm in, otherwise I'm folding and glad I didn't put much in.

I would fold this 100% of the time.

You are in a good position on your table and will find much better spots.

Including any reads you have on the players involved rather helps, even if you say 'no reads'.
