On the bubble

[mniXo]

It was on the bubble. Should I call? Or should I raise more preflop? How would you play this hand.

Re: On the bubble To be honest, it depends on how desperate you are to get in the cash... Your raise just looks like a steal and with your small stack you should either be pushing or folding in this situation. For me, I would probably of pushed pre....

Re: On the bubble Pretty sure I am all in there, Depends on how tight the table is and if your happy to finish just in the money.

Re: On the bubble With that stack size i'm definetly pushing here, you are racing at best and if you win the hand it gives you some breathing space.

Re: On the bubble Im only folding if ive had a terrible run lately, and if im the bubbleboy this time ill probably tilt for a week.

Re: On the bubble I too would be looking to get it all in preflop but how would depend on how many need to be eliminated before the bubble goes, assuming this is a large field. 30+ people to go: I am just shoving in there and then.

30 to 15 people to go in Early & Mid position: as below

Re: On the bubble 46 tables still in play, you should run down all the clock and push all in, with second to go. Be amazed if someone doesnt go out on other tables. You cant risk raising and being bullied by bigger stacks who know you want to cash. If you are raising you should alfeasy know what you are going to do if someone reraises you. If you plan is to fold to a shove then you're really wrong to raise in this situation

Re: On the bubble the range of a fatstack is very large. Therefor I think against a fat stack in a bubble position it's an automatic call. Very bad play to fold here.
