I really gotta frown upon anybody who would call this cause "the odds aren't so bad".

Theres one stack with 12m-ish, 2 with 8, and you with 3 now. You just posted the expensive hand, fold this and hope one of the 2 small stacks gets knocked out. This is bubble time. Your not making a long run for the money, you just have to survive.

The only small stack in serious danger is you. If you instafold this without even giving it a thought on the basis that its the bubble and you want to mincash, I want to be sitting with you at every bubble I'm involved in.


A few random numbers that I've just pulled outta my ass based on the SB reasonably pushing ATC....

- Before this hand, our equity was 17%.

- If we fold, we have 14% and will be forced to take our chances with whatever we get in the next 2/3 hands.

- If we call, we will end up with 29% equity 45% of the time (~13%) along with a ton of fold equity if the bubble continues for a few more hands.

Summary: Take the initiative and dont hang around hoping to mincash while also being allowed to hate yourself for allowing yourself reach this situation.

Yup, it took me a month to write the above up.
