CO - All-In(Raise) $645 to $645
Hero - Folds
SB - Folds
Villain - Folds
CO - returned ($45) : not called

Is there any reason to this, or is just a bad play? I can only think it's ok to do something like this if there is a few smaller stacks you can steal from before you get into the money. The SB must have been spitting feathers.

RU talking about your fold or the villians?

Depends. Could be misclick, keeping bubble alive so he can pwn it, etc etc

I did this a couple of time because I was not paying enough attention. Kicked myself afterward obv....

I'll bet he was playing 20 tables.

There are two answers:

If he was pushing basically every hand and stealing the blinds then he is folding to preserve the bubble and continue owning the stacks in the middle.

If he was playing tight like a donkey and for some reason folded here then he is just a moron.

I don't think preserving the bubble could ever be worth the EV lost in this situation. But maybe that was the thinking.

I used to misclick in this spot all the time, also preserving the bbl is sometimes effective too.
