86s is a great defend here bc you can see a flop and hope to hit something with a lot of equity. I’m folding a lot on flops such as Q83 though bc we don’t want to play a guessing game on the bubble here. Only looking to stack off with flush draws, 2 pair, trip type hands on bubble. Think it’s a mistake to call one with mid pair as we want to preserve our stack for once the money bubble bursts. Get that min cash and then go crazy- aka take your standard 3bet shoves against potentially light late position opens / play normal shove ranges once bubble is burst.
If you can't (and shouldn't) contest the pot when you flop a pair, even SC have poor equity. The nature of this pot makes that almost surely correct; you are against one very strong range, one reasonably strong range, and both players can put you in ICM hell.
Should we be willing to stack off with a naked flush draw? We'd need a lot of FE to make that worthwhile. When we are called, we are in pretty bad shape.
I think we can stack off with a combo draw or 2P+. Is that enough to call 1.625BB?
Would we call with a 2 gapper? 2 unconnected suited cards like Q4s? It's not just this hand I am interested in, its the whole range.
