J9s Monster Flop On Bubble (6.50)

    Default J9s Monster Flop On Bubble (6.50)

    Most will suggest "fold pre" , but big stack is complete calling station , and the 2 shorties have not been pushing much and i doubt will unless they have a good hand since if they have been paying attention they will notice that big stack will limp call all ins frequently. i'm investing less than 5% of my stack to possibly double through the station so thats my argument for playing.
    Question is what do i do on this flop vs a calling station? Im a favorite to top pair but if this flop has hit him in any way he is calling a shove , so i have very little fold equity , and with a nice sized stack with 2 shorties around on the bubble thats bad since i don't want him calling my shove (unless he has a non paired weaker fd) So what do we do here? Call and stack him if we hit or push over and hope for the best?

    DEFINITELY fold preflop on the bubble with the big stack in the hand. This hand has got seriously bad reverse implied odds, just let it go.

    As played, you have to shove it. You have good fold equity even against a calling station and you're a favourite against anything other than a set or a higher flush draw. I know it's the bubble and you're second stack against the big stack but that's the argument for folding preflop, not here.

    Bleh your right fold pre , not sure why im trying to stack the other big stack . I should be staying away from him. Im in good position to cash and most flops that i will like will be drawing hands. I think i need to start playing some MTT so i can get my looseness out there.

    In situations like this I also tend to call and look for a flop but more often than not just end up in mediocre situations. I actually had the exact same 2 cards and had the OESF draw, shoved over and didn't hit. But yeah You definitly have to shove here.
