$109 turbo: Shortstack bubble strategy
This hand occurred last night and I keep thinking about it, so I would appreciate your views:

Hero has 4s 4c (one pair, fours). Outcome: BB wins t6887. </font> Note this was a turbo, BB was Gboro780, not a donk. 31 players left, 27 get paid (1st level $177). Blinds will go up before they reach me again. We're on the bubble, if I fold I think I'm 50/50 that 4 players will go out before the blinds hit me again. I know Gboro will call very light, as will the big stack immediately to my right. My problem is working out the $EV for this situation. Shoving here gives me a chance of making the $177 and provides opportunities for more $. But folding may well guarantee the $177. What range should I shove here? My feeling is that 44 is a shove and I'm being too nitty in questioning my play, but I've bubbled several recently shoving light on the bubble, and it's getting irritating. At lower buy-ins I'm shoving 44 without thought, but at this level, am I wrong? |
