Too aggressive on the bubble? Stars 55+5

    Default Too aggressive on the bubble? Stars 55+5

    towgal is a not-that-great but pretty standard player. I'd say slightly more aggressive than average. Regardless of her skill level, however, I felt that a big stack would be raising a range that included a whole lot of hands that I beat. Was this too aggressive, considering that villian is the big stack and that there's a relatively short stack on the BB?

    I guess calling is an option too, but I really to want to play this hand out of position against the chipleader. Thoughts?

    You can't call here, either push/fold. This looks pretty standard.
