$11 Bubble - 2pr on monotone board

[kevster]

Opp is conservative but not uber-tight. Is my line retarded or standard?

Have you seen him limping SC a lot?

I think you folded the best hand.

He could have a lot of things you beat like AcAx or AcQ, etc.

The weak turn bet makes me think he has Acx and doesn't know what to do on the river other than shove.

Maybe I'm too agressive, and maybe the bubble changes this situation, but normally I shove the flop.

I think I'm miles ahead of his reraising range and his calling range, but I wonder if the ICM calc makes this not a great play

A lot of opps will try to minraise you off your hand and top and bottom pair is a hand I want to play very fast. If opp flopped a flush, better two pair or set then so be it.

(Just to be clear, and I am sure this is what GW meant, I would lead and shove over the minraise).
