He's the short stack, has an M of 4, and is about to get hit by the blinds. He could be pushing with any two cards. You have barely more chips than 3 of the 4 people at your table. You're not going to be able to just fold your way into a high position. You need to take +EV opportunities and with 66 against any two and big blinds/antes, this is VERY +EV.

I make this call everytime. If he was lucky enough to get a big pair w/ his stack this low so be it. If he's a reasonable player he's pushing just about any two broadway here, some medium aces, and all pairs, prob some suited connectors too.

You're probably racing... I'm not very fast, so I probably wait for a better spot and try to steal on the next orbit.

jcm,

i think the fact that it's a bubble makes this a fold.

you are automatically going to make money just by not playing a few hands/open pushing in LP (especially given the fact that the stacks next to you are PERFECT, assuming the button doesn't openpush everyhand as he should be doing (and most don't)).

FT buble, not bubble bubble, or am I wrong here? (I think he's already made the money, but whatever the case the real money starts at the FT anyway)
