Step 2 bubble

other shortie seems like a decent player, IE knows push/fold
him and i have both been staying alive the last 3 or 4 rounds by stealing blinds. also, this is a turbo, so blinds are going up faster than regular SNG.

seems like a pretty marginal spot. he's shoved 2 of the last 3 hands UTG I believe. my gut said to call immediately but it'd be nice to have some input from more experienced step players.

what's the payout? 1/1/0?

sorry, forgot that.
1 & 2 move up to Step 3, 3rd stays at Step 2.

I'm no expert, but I'd have let it go. You don't need to get desperate yet so you can wait for a better spot. Heck, the other shortie could bust out the next hand pullin' the same stunt and running into a monster.

What ended up happening?

To call this I think his range needs to be Any pair, JTs+, K7s+, K9o+, any ace any pair or WIDER

i thought he was shoving pretty wide, and can't really see him folding something like K7s, JTs, or any Ax here with his chipstack. anyway, he had QQ (lol) and i won because i'm good at poker.

turbo steps is fun [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
