sorry no HH

Bubble time of a 1$ 1000 entries tourney.
But i was in the SB a bigstack bully (60 BB) in the BB.
2 limpers.

I had ATo and call. bully checks
flop: A T 9 rainbow
pot: ~7 BB

I check, bully minraises, fold, fold, I move all in with 20 BB.
The bully has about 1,5 : 1 potodds.
He calls with J8 and catches his Q. I'm the bubbleboy in a 1000 entries tourney.

Wrong play by me?

LOL... 5 minutes later.. next bubble... again top 2 flopped... this time i move all in... bully calls with AA and hits his miracle paired board on the river.

How do you guys survive the bubble?

u play to win, who cares about the ~ $2.50 for making it in the money? Obviously you did everything right. just unlucky he made his straight... happens all the time... well played.

not completely bbv

There is the implied question how to play against loose bigstacks that call anything ignoring the odds because they can afford it to take 10 2:1 shots in a row.
