Gross. While we’ll have quite a few shoves in this spot pre, we mostly want to focus on a linear, high card/blocker approach here. So this hand falls pretty squarely in a calling range in my mind.

The flop is both gorgeous and gross. We have so much equity. I think the big question in this hand is do we call or do we shove once V continues?

In favor of shoving: we have 6 high, a beautiful combo draw giving us tons of outs in most situation, ICM shoves are better than ICM calls, and we have a ton of fold equity on this bubble. Hands as strong as TT-55 may consider folding and that is a beautiful thing.

In favor of flatting: we’re losing to everything, we’re on the bubble and don’t want to blow this up, our opponent is uncapped, and we’re in position.

I’ve run this in the solver and without the bubble factor, this is a pure 100% call. That seems to be because we have position, the villain has a lot of strong hands, and we should have no problem getting the money in on later streets if need be (low SPR). But with the bubble dynamic in play, I don’t mind the more aggressive action (and I’m probably taking it too). We should get a lot more folds than in a normal situation. And we’re in good shape when behind unless our hearts are covered.

I’d be curious for other takes, but I’m also shoving here. As to villain, this is a rather disastrous call IMO, even if they did win the pot in this exact hand.
