Personally, I don't make a stand at that point in the tournament. The other guys are more likely to make a more desperate move. When you are on the bubble, the key is to survive, unless you need to win the whole thing.
I just think you could have waited a bit to make an all-in move.
I don't get why you can't call the 14k, and fold it if an A, K, or Q hit. You still have more than the guy in last and are 12x the blinds which still gives you some maneuvering room.
I was 2nd, but certainly not out of harms way. The two other small stack weren't all that small compared to me. And yes, I can afford it, don't be a dick and assume anything about my financial situation. My plan was to try and qualify on Sunday and Monday this week, and if I fail, pay the $1100.
Also, what do you think I meant by "the board bricks out" when I have JJ vs AQ? What else do you think I meant by "Be back Saturday!"? I won the hand, and qualified.
If you don't really see what's wrong with flatting, then please, put down $1,100 and come play.
Calling off 1/6 of my stack, planning to fold vs any overcard is awful. JJ is only and overpair after the flop 43% of the time. May as well just fold if that's your plan. Which I can actually see merit in with it being the bubble of a satellite. However, I think there is no question that flat calling is the worst option by far.
