$16: Bubble call

Finnisher · #1 03-24-2007, 09:20 PM

Button has shoved every hand w/ 2/4 blinds so far so I'm pretty sure he's shoving about 100%. Even if he was ~30% (SNGPT -1.1%) is this still a call considering I'm forced all in before CO and I'm pretty sure he'll keep folding?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t920)
Button (t8588)
SB (t2800)
Hero (t1192)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
CO folds, Button raises to t8563 (All-in), SB folds, Hero calls t767 (All-in)

I'd call, mainly because I don't think I'm getting a better hand before all my chips are gone.

I think you have more chances to win this one than the next one + you win more if you win.

I call.

Yeah, should be a call.

Are you really sure that shortie will keep on folding tho?
What scares me more is someone giving him a walk.

Let's look at it like this: You get like a 55% shot at having a...oh I dunno...80% shot at making the bubble, and with a healthy stack at that. Or you will have the shortest stack, be a favorite to bubble, and be far behind second even if you make it.

Tough situation but I think its pretty clear that its a call. you've got yourself a coinflip here and that's the best you can ask for right now as the other shortie isn't quite short enough. You need this double.

I really don't like situations like this, but I probably grit my teeth and make the call.

Either that or stall and hope the blinds move up and land on the CO. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm definitley calling this. You have 3BB and you are about even with the other short stack so you can't reasonably hope to wait for him to bust.

Every time I decide to try and wait it out in these situations the other short stack doubles up and I end up getting bubbled, then I sit there asking myself why I didn't just make the play earlier on.
