| stupid play? 4 left in opa fr at poker host. im in 2nd with 7k. pays top 3 places. ( 5, 7.50, 12.50$). utg folds. the shortstack goes allin for 2k. im sb and the bb has 9k. what would u do? i felt he would fold if i shove allin, mistake, i go allin he calls with jacks. i still win money unless the short wins and i lose side pot. the short stack has qj off. sure enough he hits a strait and i lose to jacks. im bubble boy and next time ill call or fold. stupid stupid. 91$ made in april so far. |

| what did you have? i used to fold a lot of good hands near the bubble, but have been told over and over thats wrong. you got a hand- you got to go for it, better to lose playing right than to blinding out, and winning the chips to take 1st is way better than barely holding on to cash 3rd |

| Holding back your hand I used to play like you said folding a lot at the bubble and find my self deeper in a hole cause then im forced to play cards that I am not confident with, and loosing my position in the game to letting the blinds eat away my stack.At times I feel the poker site is setting me up for failure with the placement of cards im dealt with. but its all about risk and willing to take it. |

| In my opinion : Fold. If you call 2k chips,the BB might shove and you won't call unless you have AA-AK-KK-QQ(which i assume you didn't have) and lose some chips for nothing.If you shove ,the BB folds ,and the shortstack beats you,you'll become a shortstack.Still,as some people above me said,tell us the blinds and antes. So i would have folded here. |

| I don't see why the BB would shove here. Why don't try to knock the all-in player 2 vs 1? I would flat call even with AA there and check it down to the river. If the BB put some aggression, I would adjust. A lot of players doesn't realize that if there's no side pot and someone is all-in, unless you are close to the nuts, it doesn't make sense to bet. |
