    Default $5 - Bubble

    Easy call here if you look at pot odds, but what I didn't notice (tsk, tsk) is the size of the guy who will be in the BB next hand and surely be all in. I guess a case could be made either way, but in a single table SNG I think this is a must fold. Only consolation to this was the short stack did end up all in the next hand and was dominated, but hit a flush to double up

    Lesson Learned: ALWAYS note the stack sizes before you act. Yes, you probably already know this, as do I, but sometimes you are concentrating so hard on the math and pot odds you forget to check an even more important aspect of the hand such as this.

    It's spots like this that make you hate SNGs. Either you're all-in this hand or all-in the next one. Given your hand is below average, I probably fold it and hope for something better next hand but it's an ugly spot either way.

    The other relevant factor that you need to take into account is when the other short stack will eat the blinds next. If the shorty was UTG and would therefore almost certainly be AI next hand, it makes it an even easier fold. If the shorty was in the SB, meh maybe I call this and hope to suck out.

    I think its a fold because UTG was willing to raise and go thru the CL to do it. I'm sure your 93s isn't going to fare well vs. whatever he decides to do that with. I'd think I'd rather chance shoving ATC from the SB on the BB or making the other shorty survive his own blinds. Its an ugly spot either way.
