Ducks on the Bubble

    Default Ducks on the Bubble

    4 players left in a 10$ PP SnG. Blinds 200/100, one player has 380, I have 1100, The other two have 2000+ each. I'm in the small blind with black 2's. The BB is one of the 2K players.
    Folded to me who holds the black 2's. Last orbit in the same position I pushed with ATo. BB seems solid and I've not been overly agressive with the blind steals.
    Push or sit out for the money?

    With the other stack that small I don't think I'd want to push here. Might just limp and go from there if BB won't typically raise. If not, then fold. I don't want to flip 1-2 hands from shortie being AI.

    I push--play to win. He probably won't want to mess with you at this point, because if he loses, he is the one on the outside looking in.

    Had you been stealing a lot, I would not attempt it here.

    I am assuming you were successful on the last orbit push and didn't show it down.....

    BB will not buy 2 consecutive pushes on his blind. If you read him as tight, and only calling with premiums, a push is justifiable, but I would not feel bad about folding considering shorty needs help and you are probably wise not to give it to him. Shorty would love for you to push here. The risk is probably greater than reward. Perhaps this is a situation where pushing is +chip EV but -Money EV.
