Turborebuy qualifier bubble: KQo vs SB push.

[Viezerik]

Info:
Last 32, 25seats. A few, maybe 4 SS. Average for last 25: 18000.

Hand before, other SB pusht his BB, now he pushes. No reliable stats about this player, seems tight. I like to fold here, is this the best option?

Easy Fold, your stack can probably fold in

[Viezerik]

Ok, and with what hands do u call? If I double I am locked for the seat.

I def. fold KQ - this is never a good hand for calling a push.

What about the other tables? You have 4 smaller stacks at your table and 7 need to bust out. I would wait, maybe steal the blinds one more time - which should be enough at this level.

I'd call here with KK+ - but if someone could do the math here i would be interested in.

[Viezerik]

I had the 3 other tables open, so in total there were 4 ss. I made the easy but I like the math though.

I have another question:

At the end of the bubble time I mostly have a somewhat small stack, lower then average. I have some ideas about the right time to stall or fold to avoid a bigger BB, but I like to hear some other ideas about this.

Thank you for any suggestions.
