$6.50 two hands bubble play

[raise_happy]

sorry i misread the first hand. of course you were right. thanks for correcting me.
what do you think about my reasoning for the second hand. ok or wrong?

BTW, i hate the raise in hand 2 (i'd raise to 1000 or fold), and I'm often letting this go preflop in a 6.5 cause its hard to pwn a bubble when donks call every street.

Ok I guess its unanimous. Hand 1- fold; Hand 2- fold. Im posting the results. I called both. Hand 1, villain had AKo and I was bubble boy. Hand 2 villain had KTo, i hit the A on the flop, he hit runner runner two pair oh well.

Not quite unanimous. I call the first hand and fold the 2nd. I can't imagine becoming the kind of player that lets my blinds get steam rolled while I fold AQ. I'm not trying to claim it's an obvious call, as a matter of fact I'm seeing a lot of hands where my decision is in the minority. This is leading me to think that SNGPT and ICM would either make me angry or make me better. Probably both.

This hand is clearly an ICM hand, and CLEARLY it is a fold--you understand that if he is pushing less than 100%, its barely above break even at best-- and you are so crushed if he is pushing less than 50%-- in a 6.5, where most donks have NO idea of proper bubble pushing strategy/pwning.

easy call.

tough fold. did the button survived? you didn't call did you?

I called both. I was dominated with the AQs. With the A6s I was ahead, villain had KTo
