Message: [QUOTE="l Love Beer, post: 889657, member: 37398"] Aggreed... next hand you'll have ~1/3 of you stack in the pot blind. If you're sure that you next hand will be better that ATs then by all means fold, but if it were me, my money would be going in here... simply because if it doesn't it absolutely has to when your in the bb imo, and the chances of seeing a better hand next hand is very small. Also you have 19 hands until you blinded out completely, and with only 38 players remaining i'm sure all of the other low stacks are watching your table waiting for you to bust or blind out before they do. So it's not even a guarantee that you'll coast to the money being the short stack of the tournament. In the past i've found myself in similar situations, and after making MANY minimal cashes and leaving the game frustrated w/ my 2-3 hrs of play being rewarded with a minimal cash... Just tonight when playing the daily doubles i was on the bubble in both (ab 30 from the money in each). Avg. stack in B, and 1/3 average in the A (5 BB's). I told myself i could cash in both by folding, but i'd have no fold equity in the A after sitting for a few rounds. Weighed the options in my head Option 1. Fold my way to the money in the A ($13 minimal cash+$16 minimal cash in B+~$25 for a double cash bonus.) Or Option 2 (make a stand and build a decent stack in the A before the bubble burst and try going deep in both, as i was playing rather well.) I went with #2 giving up the guaranteed ~$55 for a chance for going deep in both and recieving the best double finish bonus (good for ~700) or a FT or two. Busted 25 from money in A and cashed for 18 (i think) in the B. Sure i was a little frustrated at first but i've noticed that i tend to play like a pussy around the bubble and have definately given up on some oppertunities to go deep. So i too vote for the shove and prey. Edit: and another thing.... You said that you'd normally never throw this hand away UTG, but i believe that if there is any time to get involved w/ AT UTG it is a time like this. [/QUOTE]
