Bubble Thinking
Situation: $11R sat to Sunday Million; 18 tickets, 22 left. 5 minute levels, blinds will go up to BB6000 by next orbit. I calculate that I have to make a move before the blinds hit me again or I will bubble this one. Only 20 hands at this table, I've stolen the blinds once and showed QQ.
Hand 1. I consider shoving this, but I will get called if any of the other shorties have any pair A8s+, ATo+, KQs etc (ish). Next hand BIG STACK is BB. Table has seen him call shorty shoves w Q2o, but, he folded to the last shorty shove when he was on the button. I think he has stopped playing and is going to sit and wait for his ticket. I decide to fold hand 1 and shove the next hand when BIG STACK is BB. I don't believe that any of the players before me will want to shove into his blind, and if I do, I am sure the shorties after me will fold,expecting him to call, so I'm betting that he will fold unless he has a premium hand (Axs, Kxs or a pair or broadway sc). I think that my thinking here gives me the best probability of stealing the blinds and definitely getting the ticket, but .... am I wrong, should I have shoved hand 1? Or should I have waited to blind out/get a better spot? Did I overthink this?
