On the STT bubble, I'm pretty desperate here and looking to double up. Bad push? Button was very experienced tight player.

I wouldve done the exact same thing. But thats just me and I dont know what everyone else thinks.

I would have done it the same way. People tighten up an awful lot on the bubble, and since you were so far behind the rest all they had to do was wait for the blinds to bust you and then go after eachother.

So you were in a bit of a bind...you couldn't let anyone see a flop, because 8's are about worthless. On the other hand, you had to do something because you were gonna get chipped out.

I suspect that ultimately you still ended up getting chipped out, but you did this hand proper.
