We need to take a totally different approach in these Stars 50-50s than the DON iron bubbles. Yes we abuse the bubble as big stack in regular SNGs but I think people incorrectly play tight on these bubbles.
What do you think of these hands?
Hand 1:
Do you like this bluff-raise with AJs in BB?
I had shown big hands in this tournament, like QQ/KK. I did make a sort of redonkulous limp shove over someone and got lucky. So my image is sorta meh? Raiser was 32/13. Was thinking of reraising or even shoving but I figured we'll take a flop multiway with a big suited hand and a plan to get fancy on some flops.
He took his time before cbetting this flop. Not sure a $5 player is going to fold a pair here but it's hard for him to have anything and I can have mid-connectors 98/T9 from the BB (my range is better on this board than his). More importantly this is a marginal spot for a PFR with a 1-pair hand and he may decide to live to fight another day with so many small stacks around.
