$200 live bubble situation

Problem is we can't really "punish the tighties on the bubble" here, one raise gets played back at and we're priced in for our stack. With this stack size we have little option, we're looking to double anyway, good call.

I don't disagree with this... but just going through the thought processes... near the bubble... with an extremely tight table... pushing with any two (certainly on the button or SB) has to be extremely +EV... I'd be picking up an extra 7K in chips (1/5 of my stack any time this succeeds)... on the rare occassion I get called... unless they have an overpair my cards are likely very live (looking at 60/40 which I'll take with the extra FE)

I keep thinking that calling with AK was possibly a bad decision... being the 1st in with AK is a nobrainer.. but calling seems to be taking the passive way out when I've been pushing the action to this point.

Ugh. I'm just not convinced I'd make the same play if I was in this same scenario in the future.

I think the decision itself is a coinflip but I'm still trying to learn... but yeah... if I spiked an A or K this post would never have been made [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
