Pre Flop: Hero is SB with Q K
3 folds, MP2 raises to t1000, 2 foldsHero??????


Just looking for a line check here. I'm thinking when I'm dealt kqs I am shoving this preflop I am so short if its folded around to me.

But then the big guy min-raises! ouch...I know I cant just call, but can I fold here? I am having a bit of trouble late in MTTS if I get really short. I am really comfortable when short and it is folded to me (pushbot chart thanks), but get skewed when someone in late position min raises or something similarly tricky.

This is a shove.

Big Stack miniraise MP reeks of an audition for "The Vagina Monologues" so we'd shove KQs and hope for a call.

His range = wide and you need to double quick = shove

ok thanks. also it should not matter that I am 6 to the bubble right?

also-what if he raises a "correct amount" putting me all in? can I call an allin bet here?

what is your objective? To cash or to win? Did you lose a huge flip to get so low?

If you played tight to get so low, I'll be shocked if most people on here don't tell you that you should have been all in like 2 levels ago.

If you are playing within a proper BR, than cashing should not matter to you. Although it does suck to bubble a tourney, you need to be playing for the top 3 finish.

yes the bubble should be semi irrelevent...maybe even make it more of a call since big stack can bully even lighter
