Question Bubble boy....stratagy needed

Hey guys.

This is the first time ive posted here but i want opinions on how i played my hand last saturday in my local casinos multi table tourney.

The field started with 70 players. I had been playing tight aggressive the whole game when i found myself in the last 11. In this tourny the top nine got paid, although the 7th 8th an 9th place were only paid 5 pounds more than the initial buy in (20 pounds) i was in about 7th place in chips and had an M of about 5. My table was short as it was 2 tables of 6 players.

I was in second position and had a j suited.

I pushed all in just hoping to steal the (substantial) blinds. However i was called and the guy to my right turened over 2 queens.

was i just unlucky to run into that hand or should i have folded and waited for the bubble to burst before putting my chips in?

or was i right to try and double up or steal the blinds to accumulate more chips for the pending final table.

sorry about the standard of writing.

any advice is appreiciated

thanx
adam buck

Good shove. Aggressive bubble play is +EV. AJ 5-6 handed is a great hand to push on the bubble. Unlucky someone had a hand that no one should lay down there.

four players left to act, you pick up the blinds or are a coinflip well over 85% of the time. Good push.

I think aggressive bubble play is overrated- of course I fully agree with you but from my experience in large tourneys or satellites, quite a few people make donkey raises or even calls on the bubble, ie there's little extra fold equity. The good players get aggressive and the bad ones fall in love with KJ suited just like before or after the bubble.

Hi there,

Yeah - that was a good hand to make your move with. You were just unlucky to hit those queens!
