I hate bubble play, last night I'm right on the bubble from the big blind... check to see a flop get a set of kings. I was short stacked and there was a FD I bet guy raises I push all in. Decided I would gamble on the button I couldnt lay down my set. the river lagged for a bit and you know what that means. yep hit his flush. I questioned my play later bein on the bubble and all but hey, I got my money in good. If it were only a pair I'd fold easily but I couldnt lay down my set after bein card dead so long

This is a good one. This has happened to all of us more than a few times. I have folded most of the time, but I have gone all in as well, that is not usually a good move. I wasn't suprised that the answers (all in or fold) were about 50/50.

The Flops are always better when you fold!!

Ain't that the truth. Of course, those are the mucks you remember.

AQ is not not a good hand to push with here. Even if you have the best starting hand you can eaisly get beat. Id wait until you have a made hand before I decide to gamble.

not much of a decision, 8k stack ....get your chips while your cards are good

I would probably shove in also, there's at least 4 outs left to hit the full boat.

I picked fold, just because we still have some time with an M a little under 9 (although not a lot of time), and the Button already made 3 bet coming over the top of a player he knows will call him.

I mean I can't argue with an all in either; might as well hope you're up against under pairs, possibly get the chip leader to fold and be in a race (or better yet dominating) with the button who tried to make a move with something.

Depends on your style and the table. If you think you can keep pushing and picking up pots near the bubble then stick around. If you are going to get called by anyone at a very loose table no matter what, then it is time to shove.

I like how the live game answer was compared to the on-line game. This is something we could probably all understand a little better
got it correct.


good luck on the tables!
