Default $2.20 Satellite: KK on the bubble

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP1 (t4182)
MP2 (t8215)
CO (t5345)
Button (t17920)
SB (t5565)
BB (t3110)
UTG (t1950)
Hero (t7713)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2475</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t600

I don't have a lot of experience with satellites, so I was wondering how my play was on this hand. I didn't want to commit my whole stack on the bubble here, even with a big hand, but at the same time, I wanted pressure the short stack in the BB so he doesn't get a walk. Obviously I would fold to a reraise by the big stacks and call a push by any smaller stack.

if you missed the memo. Fold here.

Thre are plenty of people shorter than you here. You sitll have 6 BB, and if this is truly the bubble (how many people were left to go out?) then the idea is to fold anything, INCLUDING aces. I couldnt grasp this fact early on when I first started playing. But, when you get called by 66 and the guy spikes a 6, you feel loke crap. Fold everything here if think enough people will lose in the next orbit for you to cash

Protect your stack and fold. Five people have smaller stacks than you. Two people will bust before you do if you just sit tight.

You don't need any more chips and you also can't really afford to lose any chips unnecessarily so fold.
