Locking up

[georgej]

Don't usually play in high stakes games, but recently not done too badly on betfair (due to satellite wins) So the question - in a MTT nearing the bubble and shortstacked, how do you play when chipleaders are on your table and raising every pot? I was in the 35k on betfair yesterday and went out 24th. (18 paid):cry One of the last hands i had was QJo on BB of 1600 as usual got raised to 3200 and everyone else folded. Thought about raising my last 2300, but folded, hoping for better cards to go allin with I got AJ a few hands later, but 66 hit his set. Should i have raised? Don't think i made too many mistakes, and got off to a flying start (although i had to leave the table for dinner as we had a guest at the house :() Just wondering what the general concencus is when you're against the wall?

Re: Locking up IMHO -in this situation I would try and fold to the money - the big stack is going to call everything that is no threat to his poosition - even if it is with crap cards like 5 7o. BUT if all players are folding and you only have the bully to contend with then your QJo or AJ look good to me to try and double up if it looks like I am going to blind out. Hope this helps ;)
