Bubble Pressure

[Rivrd]

I was playing a €10 rebuy 7.5k G'Tee with 239 runners and managed to get myself deep into the Tourney and with the bubble about to burst find myself in this situation. I am in the BB with Ah Qh the player to my left had been very active and previous showdowns he was raising with a wide variety of hands from any position, 10 J, Q 10, etc also +1 had been calling quite a few hands and generally folding from any sign of strength. How would you have played this hand knowing its bubble time - i fill in the details later. ***** Hand 1514653779 ***** 1500.00/3000.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit) - 22 March 2009 01:50:40 €7,500 GTD REBUY (Real/Tournament) Seat 1: didoruse (61876.00) Seat 2: MarcOH (47967.00) Seat 3: Unknown (0.00) Seat 4: gangl99 (77972.00) Seat 5: PLRIVRD (49239.00) Seat 6: ringhio11 (65370.00) Seat 7: vincedub (69850.00) Seat 8: mario0121 (39951.00) Seat 9: Unknown (0.00) Seat 10: UhLaLa (95895.00) gangl99 post SB 1500.00 PLRIVRD post BB 3000.00 ** Deal ** didoruse [N/A, N/A] MarcOH [N/A, N/A] gangl99 [N/A, N/A] PLRIVRD [Qh, Ah] ringhio11 [N/A, N/A] vincedub [N/A, N/A] mario0121 [N/A, N/A] UhLaLa [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** ringhio11 Raise to 7950.00 vincedub Fold mario0121 Call 7950.00 UhLaLa Fold didoruse Fold MarcOH Fold gangl99 Fold PLRIVRD Call 7950.00 *** Flop(Board): *** : [5c, 4h, 10h]

Re: Bubble Pressure Has he been active from early position? If so, I just shove pre flop, and hope to take the dead money. As played I lead out on a flop with a bet that commits me if someone raises, and then at worst I have outs. If you take his UTG raise as extreme strength, you can fold pre flop.
