Another sat bubble question ($1.10 sat)

Five left, four get $11 seats, 5th gets $1. Push preflop? As played, call the other short stack's push?

shove pre and this never comes up

[Hexadecimal]

I agree with Pants about shoving this preflop. As played, and absent any reads on the player, I favor calling this. I would tend to exclude AA and possibly KK from his range because those are too strong to not shove with to try and climb up to 4th place with. I also doubt he's doing this with air. If he limps in with connectors and pocket pairs &lt; JJ, he has most likely hit a pair on the board. It's highly unlikely he's hit 2 pair.

I favor calling if you feel he'll make this move with a pair with or without a kicker. If you think he's only doing this when he's flopped a set, dump your KK, and pick another spot.

i cant believe u checked this?
shove is ez here

[sah_24]

i auto call this u know hes shovin a queen prolly qj or q10 here. Ur lookin to bust this guy and get ur seat dont think ur gonna see to many spots better than this to bust someone i call and i dont like checkin to slow play id b puttin half my stack in pre if not all of it

[JavaNut]

SB will go for this pot with anything he thinks has a chance of winning it, any pair pocket or with the board, AJ, AT and so on. So I say it is a shove on the flop.

It is also a shove preflop, the pot is already resonable and you might get a call from someone who thinks you are stealing.

[levAA]

preflop you have to raise this.
if this is a loose game and you get callers you can shove it - normally i would make it about 2000-3000 preflop here.
postflop clear call - you are mostly up against Qx

[JammyDodga]

Yeah, shove pre-flop - playing scared like this with a hand you aren't going to be folding post-flop just increases your chance of busting out rather than reducing them.
