newbie...help and thanks...bubble situation $20 180 on stars

[Pondy]

How much would villian have to raise in order for there to be enough FE for hero to push or CR AI on the flop?

I don't think this is a spot where Hero has to be involved in to begin with.

The answer to your question is 0!
Calling a raise will commit Hero to the pot which is crazy on the bubble.
This play like a SNG(sit not stop!), and I am 100% sure that it is a clear fold.

ok. Reason i ask is i'm still not sure where good spots are to attempt a stop n go. Was using this post to try to get someone to give me an example.

contrary to what some ppl have been saying, i definitely don't see this play as that bad. even tho it is the bubble, who cares, MTT bubbles are pretty much different in a lot of ways from SNG bubbles in terms of playing supertight just to squeeze into the money IMO. i mean, if you fold over and over, you get like 2 buyins back, and have a dead stack of something like 4 or 5 BBs. I mean, we already have an M of like 5 or somewhere around there. I think the fact that this may be the bubble, and the villain IS the big stack leads me more to thinking that he may try to be pushing the table around and raising with a wider range which makes hero's play here look a lot better. as far as whether to push preflop or stop n go depends on how tight villain has been like a previous poster said. but overall, i don't have a huge problem with getting my money in here
