Hi all,
I have a question about a hand on the bubble on a 9man (0.50$) turbo sit'n go from pokerstars. Blinds are 300/150 ante 25
Cutoff: 6400$ after posting ante, pretty good reg and raises lot of hands because of his big stack at the table
Button: 503$ after posting ante, no notes
Sb(hero):1380$ after posting sb and ante, have pocketfives
Bb: 4667$ after posting bb and ante, a reg who has some leaks

Action:
Cutoff minraises (600$), Button calls (allin for 503$), now what should i do with my pocketfives? Should I Push allin or just call because of implicit collusion or fold because i have an other big stack acting behind me?

What do you mean by implicit collusion?

This is an interesting spot here. I say that as you can shove AI and get called by CO (they are going to if they are a good reg) and lose to the BTN and still beat the CO and be in the tournament.

Against both ranges your equity is 25%. After plugging this into ICMIZER though it seems like this is a shove. Can others confirm?

So implicit collusion is a thing that i read from Collin Moshman. If i remember well it means this: there is the bubble and it has a short stack who is going allin. At least 2 players (with 2 bigger stacks) call and they check all streets so in this pot there are 3 players so it is less likely that the short stack will win. Now the short stack has a bigger chance busting so the others will make the money.

Ahhh... That makes sense. I don't think you have any fold equity here once you shove. If they are implicitly colluding just to get the short stack out how can they ever fold when they have a chance of knocking you out for ~700 more?
