Eh. its really close. It really depends on how the table has been playing. Also, I just noticed you will be shoving into the larger stacks at your table. What are your reads on the larger stacks?

There has been a lot of preflop raising and folding..mostly due to fear of bubbling though. Largest stack was pretty LAG, everyone else was pretty TAG, They would shove with good hands and fold everything else.

Also I noticed places 90-71 pay the same, then 70-61 pay 4 bucks more..if that matters at all.

You're going to get some loose calls at this stage of the tournament, as people are willing to gamble it up to build their stack now that they are in the money. I'm more inclined to steal with suited connectors and such at this stage than a hand like K8. At least when KQ or KT calls you, you have two lives with s connectors.

I would probably fold it here if only just cause people start getting loose right after the bubble passes and gambling more. But I am bad so don't give my advise too much weight.

I think its a pretty standard fold unless table it very passive, but right after bubble people will be looking to pick these steals off

i think this should be a fold, at this stage in the tourney, a lot of players are willing to gamble to get a big stack and try to make it deep, this means you'll have a much higher chance of getting called. At this stage, I like to gamble, but I'll probably wait for a better spot than this, and hopefully have some more value behind my hand than this.

fold. the big stacks are gonna be looking to pick off the small stacks (you) with wider calling ranges because people go nuts looking to build their stacks at this point. Fold...look for something a a little stronger

I would fold here with the big stacks left to act.
