DTD £1k Main Event bubble time...

[MC]

Okay, so William Martin, who's opinion I respect, felt I made the wrong decision on this hand from the DTD £1k last week so thought I'd throw it out there.

Apologies for the sketchy details.

We have ~360k
Villain has ~120k

We are 6 or 7 handed (I forget which), 19 left, 18 paid.

There are a few smaller stacks still in, so villain isn't much at risk of bubbling in this way....

We have been pretty active raising pots, sometimes to resistance, sometimes not. We pick up QQ in the hijack or the cutoff and make our standard raise (I'm assuming 2500/5000 (500) blinds) to 13k. Villain is in the big blind, and literally says "I'm all-in" as soon as he looks at his cards. No real reads, except that he hasn't messed around too much and seems solid enough. However he's not a rock or anything, has been happy to play QJ, AT type hands from any position and stuff like that...

What do we do now?

Does the bubble dynamic affect our decision?

What does his insta-shove mean?

Lol...

I did literally snap call, there may have been a 3 second pause where I thought "I'm only going to end up calling if I dwell up here so I might as well call now".

Villain had Aces, as George already knew so don't give his post any credit lol.

Martin said I should have thought about it more, and considered that he wouldn't be shoving unless uber-strong. Martin said "Kings?" when I snapped and Villain flipped his Aces, seem v.surprised I only had Queens and the next day in a break he said I'd made a "crucial mistake" in that hand.

Pleased to hear everyone else snaps...

Ha played with that guy once i said he was terrible someone said nah he is quite good so i thought ok maybe just having an off day. Looks like i was right the first time.

If you've been pretty active raising pots in this game...and here you are raising again...6-handed...in late position...on the bubble...with chips...Why does villain need to be uber-strong to shove?? I think the reality is that villain would consider it is YOU who needs to be uber-strong to call...not that he has to be uber-strong to make the move. If good players at the table feel that villain MUST have A-A in this spot it only adds credibility to villain's shove with weaker hands. And your appreciation of that fact only adds credibility to your call.

the first 8 words were enough for me
