Default 4 options on final table bubble and they all suck

100$ nl on party, 13 people left, blinds 500-1000, 7 handed

i am utg+1 with 66 and i have 11000,

utg folds, i fold,call,raise(to what?call, fold to a push?) or push

i pushed thinking that a raise would leave me with 8000 if i would have to fold pre or postflop and 1500 in blinds coming my way soon, and i maybe got get some better hands to fold like 77 and 88 and maybe more.. but if i am called it is most certainly against higher pocket or AK and that risk reward ratio i donīt like either as 1500 doesnt do that much more to my chances to win. Thoughts?

This depends on the other stacks at your table, when blinds go up, and payout structure. I think a stop and go might work here. Call pre-flop then push any flop.

avg is about 15-16k with the usual mix of bigstacks and short stacks with the big ones at 20-40k and the shorties on 6-7k. Seeing another orbit isnt really a problem for me here as i am comfortable playing my short stack. I really dont understand your answer, should i limp and push 10k into a 3-5k pot independant of what hits? that sounds awful. Altough the limp preflop maybe a good idea as it can look pretty strong

Its really amazing how many people don't understand what a stop an go is. How about a definition to clear up all these misconceptions:

Stop-and-go (stpnd-g) -- adjective -- An all-in move on the flop that constitutes cold-calling a pre-flop raise out of position.


Also, I don't know what I do here cause I don't know stack sizes.

I would fold. With an M of about 7 and an effective M of about 5, I would just let it go, but it is a very borderline and could go either way. I would push this sometimes depending on my read of the table. If there was one less person on the table I would push since your effective M would be lower than 5.

Do it. I loved them. HoH made short stack play pretty easy for me. M is pretty important and will be something you will have to figure out a lot when the blinds get big in comparison to your stack.
