    Default Playing shortstacks closing in on bubble

    Maybe I should put these hands in one thread.

    Again no reads for this one, but these guys seem reasonably solid. I thought about this one for a while. About 500 left, 225 pay.

    Is this a spot to raise?

    MP1 (t6200)
    MP2 (t7840)
    Hero (t23525)
    CO (t12786)
    Button (t18791)
    SB (t11101)
    BB (t16500)
    UTG (t10056)
    UTG+1 (t10675)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with , .
    UTG calls t600, 3 folds, Hero ???, CO calls t600, 2 folds, BB checks.

    Flop: (t2200) , , (3 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, CO checks.

    Turn: (t2200) (3 players)
    BB checks, UTG bets t1200, CO raises to t3600, BB folds, UTG raises to t9406, CO calls t5806.

    River: (t21012) (2 players)

    Final Pot: t21012

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Both these guys are fairly tight, but they're well capable of stealing with marginal hands.

    Is this a good spot to reraise, is it standard? If raise, how much? How bad is folding?

    I would guess there was about 350 left at this point with 225 paying.

    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    I fold, but a raise is probably not terrible in either case.

    Overlimp the first hand. If you're a bit feisty, just fold so you don't go apeshit with top pair after the flop.

    Second's a definite fold.

    This is my problem too, i see myself either getting out near/at the bubble or just barely make the money.
