  • Approaching the Bubble

    Posted by black_spruce on January 5, 2023 at 11:33 am

    Live MTT. 105 players entered, 17 left, and 12 get paid.

    I have 13.9BB in the LJ. Average stack is 30BB. Player to my right is the table chip leader. Player to my left, who has not played a hand at this table – we were reseated recently and have played about a dozen hands – is the table short stack (I am second shortest), and the player to his left has a stack somewhere between average and the table chip leader. He had been the table chip leader by far just a few hands ago, but spewed chips on two questionable (IMO) shove calls; he is super aggressive and a very expert (at least he thinks so) reg.

    I have ATo and it folds to me. I don’t believe I had played a hand at this table yet and would think my image was nitty. Everything felt middling to me. Middle position, with a borderline hand and a stack caught between my 15-22BB reshoving range and my 10-12BB open-shoving range. I have a short stack nit and and big stack LAG to my left, and we’re not quite on the bubble yet, but we’re quickly approaching it.

    What would have been the best play? Do I get ATo in against the “expert reg” while I have some equity and fold equity, or hold out for a better hand with the blinds approaching and the blinds going up in 10 minutes (if I don’t act, I’m soon blinded down to 8BB, where I’m defintely open-shoving ATo)?

    What should I be considering?

    Thanks!
