Default Re: $ 16 bubble play

If he's been aggro a lot then push. But OP only said he had done this twice so without any other reads, that looks like a fold. If anything I would give him more credit for the second "steal" than the first since he probably know's it looks like he's stealing. If he keeps doing it, sure then push with a moderate hand, but twice in a row does not make him a maniac.

Im happy to get it in here. His range shoulc be massive and we arent guaranteed 3rd if we get into a folding contest (but we are more or less guaranteeing third to ourself or BB)

We dont have alot of FE (if any) but more often than not we are likely to be 60% here, which is enough for me to go for the double up and become a commanding 2nd in chips.

I think one option is to flat pre and shove any flop (maybe check A and J high flops if you think he'll bet) he might be more likely to lay down his garbage there and you take away his chance to see 2 more cards

totally agree with this.we still only have between 9 and 10bb ourselfs.the bb has 6bb so even if we fold here,we will b in the same postion as bb in 2 orbits.if the button had a monster why would he make such a big bet into short stacked bb?remember 1 first is better than 2 thirds.play to win and take this positive cEV situation.
