$225: A2 bubble

[darinvg]

Button is power2prut. A good aggressive player. Isoshove or just call? Note he left a few chips behind.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t600 with t50 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3100)
Button (t1400)
Hero (t2970)
BB (t6030)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t1200</font>, <font color="red">Hero?

Nice move by him. I'm definitely just calling here to protect myself from BB's shove.

[iggy38]

Why he left 200 chips behind ?
If you shove and BB reshove, he can fold ?

[Q..]

Can't see anything nice in that raise, even if sb and bb go allin he can't fold profitably.

call

haha, everyone is doing that less than allin shove.

i'd minreraise to 1800. that way if bb shoves power2prut will have to call then you can call. it is good to keep away from a scenario where you push, bb pushes, button folds, you lose, and you break your mouse/monitor.

The min raise sounds really good John.

I see absolutely no reason to get involved here. A2 is a flip against his range at best. And now you're shorty.

&lt;psycho rant&gt;Have you ever seen A2 hold up in this spot against QJ on stars? Ever? Just once? Seriously.&lt;/psycho rant&gt;

[darinvg]

I'm certainly not excited about A2 here but I don't think we can just sit back and hope he busts out.

[Little John]

i'm not real fired up about A2 either, but if villian would have pushed top 35% then calling here is worth 2% (and sngpt assumes bb always folds once you call).
