Bubble spot

[marcin123]

eh? this is an EASY fold

snap fold...

I disagree that this is an "easy fold"....it's certainly worth a ponder, I mean we're supposed to fold ATs here also but would we classify that as an easy fold? I think the hands play quite similar in this spot.

But agree that a fold is the right decision...

I would have jammed in this spot 6 months ago

Just like this isnt an easy fold - i dont think that jamming is terrible - i think the answer is dependant upon you M.O. in these games.

These  things tend not to play like a standard sng on the bubble.

We are not going to get called behind too light

if we win - we are in much better shape.

If we lose we are still unlikely to bubble - we will prob just min cash - but we are lookig at doing that anyway

I thought that hand looked familiar!

I was the 'hero' in this instance and have read the comments with interest - thanks everyone.  I have much to learn and hope MC will continue to coach me even though I missed a button shove in previous level.  My ears still bleeding from 'nice but firm' rollicking.

Outragous76 sums up my thought process perfectly prior to the jam. 

Just wondering whether the following info would change whether A9 was easy fold?

I have TN set to 'auto refresh info tab for tournaments' and noted that the blinds increased to 600/1200 on very next hand, prior to getting it in.  I therefore surmised (probably incorrectly!) that the original shover was probably on ATC as was gonna be blinded out anyway.  Also, the blinds were upon me two hands later and then i really would be getting called light by the big stacks.... a desperate move to stay competitive.

Easier fold?  Less easy fold?

Lol

[outragous76]

i didnt think it was horrible

i guess the super shorty makes it a fold - but its close.

im also not a grinder, so teh small scores im prepared to let go for bigger ones - even in SNGs

[thetank]

I fold AT and probs AJ too
