WSOP Bubble
«

Had some differing opinions on the below scenarios from the guys I play with live. Thought I'd get some more opinions - I won't tell you what I did as I don't want to cloud your opinions:
Scenario: 5k WSOP event - 73 players remain, 72 get paid. $5k entry and 72nd place pays in the region of $9k. Prizes do not go up steeply - 40th spot pays about $13k and 30th pays about $22k.
Your image is fairly tight - you have restolen twice when there were about 90 players remaining to keep head above water. Blinds are 800/1600 with a running ante of 300, so about 5k per round. Your stack is about 21k - you are one of the table shorties, but there are a number of micro stacks on other tables with stacks between 5k and 10k. Two of the big stacks on your table are playing the bubble really well - they are putting the medium stacks to decisions for all their chips.
The 2 scenarios I encountered during the 90 minute (!) hand for hand are:
1) Big stack (100k+) makes it 6k UTG. You have
on the button. Action?
2) You get
UTG - Action?

ur playing a 5k event. did you satellite in and need the money or are you rolled for 5k events (realise this is unlikely). Whatever, im deffo jamming the AK, 99 is tough, prolly a fold.

This is so the move, but is also so easier said than done i've you've won a SAT in and 9k means a lot...

I bought in direct, but a sensible bankroll manager would say I am not correctly rolled for it, so missing out on the 9k will impact my ability to play other big tournaments later in the year.

A-K deffo push. Big stack playing the bubble well gives this push added merit.

Yes but on the flip side folding the A-K will leave you with a really nasty feeling that will haunt you forever.

The range for the big stack to call is pretty wide here if you shove the AK - he's getting a pretty good price and can comfortably live with losing the hand? You happy to spin it up AK v J9 with the shallow payout structure?
Personally I think shoving the unopened pots with 99 is a better move than shoving AK and getting (probably) called.

This can't really be seen as a bad thing. If you are a poker player you will need to push here. UTG can call with any Ace and we cannot not want this. Waiting to die is a wretched feeling to be avoided at all costs. Far worse than the pain of bubbling imo.

I agree - if you are playing for 1st it's a shove every time, but my view was that the difference between finishing 72nd was virtually the same as finishing 40th, so I'd rather gamble with a 40% shot when I was on a freeroll (and maybe pick up a better spot), than a 70% shot (if he has a smaller ace) or 50% shot (when he has a small pair) when it was going to cost me 9k to do it. Maybe it's the wrong way to think about it - I dunno. I passed both the hands here, and also JJ and TT to heavy action pre-flop round about the same period.
It's the first time I've been around the bubble in a major tournament so perhaps my inexperience showed - or maybe I'm just a rock

Yeah seriously. Save your $5k for a smaller tournament if you're considering folding these
