Last night, I was playing in a game on 888 I don't recall the buy-in/nor the GTD for It but (I think It was 1.5k), bubble was 50th, and their were 54 players left.

I was in the top 10. To my left was another in the top 10 (but he had me covered).


Can't figure out how to convert these hands (sorry all)

What should I do? GII? Fold? Call and see flop and than re-evaluate?

Players stats were 17/17 with 5%3bets over 70 hands.

Bonus question, for future, on bubble with AK should you just really think about the min cash? I mean a min cash isn't really what I was aiming for, so IMO to min cash=loss for me, yet with AK and so many players less than I in chips, I wasn't really all to eager to GII vs this player, others would've been more easier but the 5%3bet and his 17/17 range just didn't look to me to be a good spot to GII but what do you all think I should do?

It is almost bubble, and in such situation i think better to fold.

i have no doubt of shoving all in in this hand. AK suit is a very strong hand, and his 3 bet wasnt very strong, so he might be having aj,aq,kq, even if he has qq,jj,10 10 that would be a coinflip so i would just push all in and hope this players has AQ or AJ

No need to bother with hand converters if you don't see the flop :p

Anyways I agree with a shove here, but it kinda depends on how close I am to the bubble and the type of tournament we are talking about. If it's a satellite, I'm not bothering with this hand against a 3-bet, and I'm folding here.

Being a tournament with money prizes, I'd go all-in. Calling makes no sense to me. Even if we saw the flop, we can't back out, and he will cbet for sure, and I'm not deep stacked. If I was deep stacked, I would call here and re-evaluate. We are ahead against anything except AA and KK. Even QQ is a flip against us. Anything below QQ and we are favorites. There is a chance we are against AA or KK, but it's not that great, especially when people are trying to exploit each other out of the pot. And he only does a min-raise, I'd expect AA or KK to 3-bet wider here.

17/17 are scary stats and I'm not that confident with a shove, but that's my opinion.

Your description here doesn't make sense. You say there were 54 left and you were in the top ten yet there are 4 players ahead of you at the table and you have less than 11BB. Doesn't seem likely that you would be in the top 10 in this situation.

That apart with the stack you had your chips should already all have been in the middle. Why are you messing around with a min raise? Either fold your way to the bubble or play the hand on its merits. With 11BB in a money tournament AK suited is a shove all day every day.

As played it should still be an automatic shove.
