    only a complete moron would open to 600 and fold with a 3400 stack at 50/100, so i play it the same.

    a smaller raise looks stronger

    yup, ur on the bubble and ur the big stack so put the next big stack under pressure cos he really shouldnt call u with less than AA considering the size of the shortie.

    and hes a complete idiot for making that size of a raise and folding.

    if he raised 3x, i wouldve made it ~1000. but since he raised so much, your shove is pretty standard. If you raise it to 1800, your commiting your stack anyway, its better to not see a flop b4 you shove imo

    when ur the big stack on the bubble of a SNG, it is horrible to raise any less than all in imo......aggression is the key to bubble play so normal pf raises go out the window and push/fold comes into play.
