Some bubble hands....

Hand 1: Pretty standard. I'm the small stack and have to pull the trigger at some point. JJ is more than adequate.

Hand 2: Similar spot but now we have one stack smaller than us. This is a little closer but I'm still happy with a push. We're unlikely to pickup better and the small stack only needs to get lucky once and we're in trouble

Hand 3: A good example of when to fold the good stuff. Nosebleed blinds and three stacks (two of them significantly) smaller than ours. Just need to sit tight here.
