6.50 on the bubble

This is probably a stupid question,Is this an auto push? The blinds are still kinda small.

Fold. There isn't really enough fold equity in the hand to make it worth it. While most of the time you're a slight bit better than 50/50 it's not worth the risk, especially considering he could have 66+. The only hands that he'd might raise than call that you're significantly ahead of are 22-44. You'll have better opportunities when you're pushing instead of what is essentially calling since he almost certainly won't fold that extra 1k.

*Oops, misread your stack. This is my advice if you had 1900 chips.

With 900 chips I would call and hope to get my 50/50 with some dead money in there. You won't be getting great fold equity with your pushes as the small stack in the next few hands and you need to double up quickly.

Yeah every time med. pimpin posts a hand I can't really offer good advice. Too much of a distraction lol.

I think given you are so short and in the SB, this is hard to fold. Push and pray your PP holds up vs. his overs.

I find it helps if you announce your opponents card(s) on the flop, turn and river (instead of requesting a card not to flop).

Usually if you request cards from the dealer they are less like to appear. It depends if you're the short stack though. You only have an 15% chance of survival if you are the short stack, regardless of what you yell out.
