Bubble Aggression or Stupidity?

    Default Bubble Aggression or Stupidity?

    Let me add my read on Fourkinghell. I sat down at the final table (of a 30 peep SnG $2+0.20) in 9th place with just over 1K in chips. I was desperate and Four was trying to knock me out. I sucked out on him twice and was ahead in another hand that I won. He was on serious tilt and was calling my raises with 84o and such. I was only going in with hands I was willing to showdown AI with because he had made it clear anytime I was in a hand that was what it was going to come down too.

    Should I have just kicked back and let them knock out the SS? I was playing for a win so I was awful aggressive. That and I am still working on my short-handed game, I'm still not sure what constitutes a good hand. Anyway, here we go...

    You called his all-in. He had played very passive till then and you called with TP3rd Kicker? You have to realize that he probably dosnt have the balls to be raising you all-in with worse than K-10, and you need to fold. I would rule for that hand... stupidity. But up to that point it was well played.

    The way I would've dealt with that fool is by pushing every Ax where x is higher than 6 and every Kx where x is higher than 7. I had a guy like that the other day who went after me on the bubble cause I was the short stack. So I started pushing all those hands, and I busted his dumb ass out. Especially if this guy has a big stack. He'll call those all-ins because he'll still have lots of chips left if he loses, and the others will fold every time, because they're so close to the money. It won't work every time, but it will work a lot.
    There's three types of people in the world...those who can count, and those who can't.
