I usually prefer simple A-B-C decisions at the table, where the line is clear and the pressure is low.
What I really dislike are those spots where you get dealt AK or AQ on the bubble and every option feels high-risk.
Complex decisions are fine in the right moment, but on the bubble they’re rarely welcome.

I totally get what you mean. Those straightforward A-B-C spots are so much more comfortable, especially deep in a tournament. Bubble situations with hands like AK or AQ can feel awful because every option has real consequences — fold feels too tight, call feels risky, and shove can be a disaster if you run into a monster.

Complex decisions are part of the game, but on the bubble the pressure definitely makes them a lot less enjoyable. Sometimes it’s more about survival and stack preservation than trying to play the “perfect” theoretical line.
