Default $114: Another bubble with two AI\'s

I really am lost when there are two people are AI in these spots. CLer is a decent reg but I don't think he's shoving crazy wide.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t8870)
Button (t1150)
SB (t430)
Hero (t3050)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t8845 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t205 (All-in), <font color="black">[b]Hero?</font>

I'm autofolding this, I'd probably call if btn called I guess but the stacks are setup sooooo much better for you here than the other hand that you have to call a lot tighter here I think.

Easy fold because of button especially.

I don't care if CO flips over 24o right now. This is a clear and incredibly easy fold. Even if the SB doubles up, he's got ~1200 chips. That leavse the btn and SB incredibly short stacked and you with medium stack and CO obv with CL. Why risk the bubble with such a marginal hand when you have an easy 2nd place right here IMO?

I agree guys...it is a clear fold in a vacuum. I was just thinking that if I double through big stack and shorty doubles up, I'll have the CL and be able to own the bubble.

I would agree, but the button will still be super short, which is also the 2nd biggest reason you should fold.

There's your big word. You're not sure you're even ahead right now, and there's no reason to risk it with a marginal hand like this.

Fold seems best since you're 2nd in chips and you don't think he's pushing crazy wide. However, it's not nearly as risky as some people think since you have to loose to both to bubble.

Even if you could add in the value of possible owning the bubble in the future, you probably won't be able to do it effectively.
