It was the stone bubble phase! The tables were playing hand for hand.

What's my move here?

if its a money bubble spot i would fold into money , but if it like the open league there are 5 hand for hand spots when 10k player play , first 2500 players left and that one is from old leaderboard strat , at 1404 the normal money spot and when you start to get points , 600ish a point incress , the top 91 to 90 player when you start to get money 1 cent , then the ft bubble hand for hand

Good point, It wasn't a league type freeroll It was the CC's Daily FRC tournament with a small field [around 150 players] , with prizepool.

Easy shove, doesn't matter it's tournament bubble. AJ on the button with 12bb is never a fold.

Well i'm not really sure it's an easy shove here. If we have 10BB then yes, but with 12BB i would rather make x2.5 raise. Especially at the bubble time, where players tend to tighten up themselves, probably it will be enough to let them lay down without real strength. And if someone on the blinds shove to us, then we can fold and still get into money.

Hardly. We're 2nd shortest stack, most other players have 20+BB. If there were 3 players with less than 5BB then maybe, but with only 1 player under 5BB we can't try to fold our way to the money. Also, 12BB on the button with AJo is awesome. If you want to give yourself any chance to finish well you'll need a double up to catch up to the rest of the table who are, as I said, all around 20-25BB. AJ is a great hand to push it it and hope to get called.

Stacks at other tables are very relevant here. I'd shove ATo+ on the bubble in general here, though.

I would shove.

Jam.

I would a little raise.

QUICK FOLD! If you are on bubble and you know AT LEAST one person has a smaller stack then you try to survive

How big was the money jump? Was it less than $0.50/$1? Was it above $10? That and only that dictates the play (ICM, is the play here).

It was a small amount of money , $0.85! Maybe it will be useful to write than the first place pays around $20.[field ~150 , places paid 36].
