<font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, Hero folds.

60 players remain, top 47 gets same payout. t4000 worth of blinds and antees to steal.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking I can probably slide into the money and don't need to take risks, whereas BB just might be willing to take a gamble with a stronger hand, but certainly not a weaker one. If I lose this I'm crippled and seriously risk busting out shortly after.

Raise PF.

interesting situation. you have tremendous FE since this plays like a satellite, but as the 2nd chiplead of your table, theres no reason to aggressively pursure more chips.

would this be a good spot for a minraise (regardless of cards)?

Um. There's ALWAYS reason to aggressively pursue more chips.

And there's no such thing as a good spot for a min raise PF.

OMG push this pleeeaasse.

[jfish]

i dont understand your rationale for why this isnt a good spot for a small raise pf. for either of the blinds to call this, they have to commit themselves to the hand. its very push/fold for them -- and if they push, they dont stand to gain much (with a small raise).

and also, i dont agree that its important to aggressively pursue chips here. 80% of the table is in push/fold. hero can finish 45th, he can finish 1st. overall chip accumulation is not as important as outlasting. the risk/reward of raising is high.

Very easy fold. I wouldn't be playing any hands at this stage. It looks like you have an above average stack.

[jfish]

and saying arbitrary things like "theres no good thing as a preflop minraise" completely ignores the current circumstances. instead of replying with arbitrary cliches, itd be better if you gave a reason as to why its bad in this scenario.

[mlagoo]

you aren't the only one on the bubble. both of these opponents are on the bubble too, and you have them covered. they have to pick up a monster to call. i don't play a lot of sats, but to me this is an absolutely elementary push.

well shoot, betgo plays a lot more sats than i do. maybe just listen to him.

i cant imagine not pushing this here, but it isnt really in my "realm of expertise" (if such a realm exists).
