    Default bubble re-steal

    The stealer min-raises his monsters and is fairly active in stealing blinds. Do you think my coming over the top of him was alright here? There were 23 people left and top 20 were paid. I'm not really focusing on being called by AA cause that was basically just unlucky. The blinds were relatively tight and i felt in this spot they would only call me wiht a AA, KK, QQ and possibly JJ and AK.

    i like the move on the bubble especially... tough luck running into aces though.

    That guy did have decent pot odds too call you because you were all in tho. if he has any pair you are definitely getting called.

    I dunno if risking your stack for 800 extra chips so close to ITM is really worth it. I know you either had to fold or all-in at that point, but if he folds does those 800 chips really benefit you that much when BB is 300? I'd have to be there and have a real good feel for the table, but if it was your read at the time then I cant blame you for taking a shot.

    Fine by me, after donating tons of chips to a re-stealer on my left a few MTTs ago I've been tempted to try it out more... riskier but you need to do it a lot less.
