Satellite bubble: AQo

[baudib]

Fifty left, I have a top 5 stack, top 40 get tickets.
This is a fold right?

I'd be surprised it it's worth it to play any hand with any 10k+ stacks behind you, this is a turbo fold.

[Sprayed]

Yes fold.

[baudib]

Villain has sick-tight range here, right? So probably a fold under any circumstances?

[drmcboy]

given he didn't open shove he probably sucks and could have anything or has AA, point is more that the chips in your stack have a lot more value than his 1800 and again you don't close the action and getting action from the guys behind you is a disaster.

[thunder650]

not worth the 1800 youve got stacks behind u and also youre already sitting pretty good with a top 5 stack

[tncatfish43]

the book says fold,when the tourney stops and seats are given out it doesn't matter if your first chipstack or last everyone gets the same seat

[hopeful]

look at the M figures
UTG (5035) M=3.2
UTG+1 (4380) M=2.8
MP1 (5785) M=3.7
MP2 (13987) M=8.9
MP3 (6440) M=4.1Hero (CO) (16358) M=10.4BTN (13620) M=8.6
SB (8020) M=5.1
BB (12320) M=7.8

Why would you play any hand. You could fold to the money from here so EV(fold)=a ticket.
Any action must reduce this EV because it cant go up.
