    Yeah I think it's an easy jam at these blind levels with 17k, but I take it from the post that you walked into AA/KK or something lol.

    First of all fist pump at the fact you have a great +EV situation, then proceed to put your stack into the middle =)

    Ok I think I know who!! :) The reason I ask them questions is because there could be valid reasons for a fold, If you sat into the tournament you can justify a fold here. Also if you are above average are you happy that you can outplay post flop others at your table???If so fold and keep playing small pots. One of the big improvements I made to my game was to rely less on flipping, you could and are likely to be behind here (If he calls) so there is no need to proceed with a coin flip so to speak. If he has been 3 betting alto then yes this is 100% a shove as you are probably picking up dead money.
    Always good to hear both sides :)

    I wouldn't shove here so close to the bubble tbh against a player that has me covered.

    thanks 4 feedback guys

    I just imo think ak is too strong to fold but i do understand your reasons behind why you could possibly find a fold
    but yeah lambert i shoved and i ran into aa lol but just wanted to see what other players do in my spot get different views.

    To be fair, I think Batkin is spot on. I was gonna ask about format etc but I was too lazy lol.

    Does make a big impact, obviously if this is a satellite with 20 seats, and 23 remaining, easy fold. Most of the time it's gonna be a jam I think but there are some times you can fold in the right situation.

    yeah totally agree with u and batkin we can find a fold here under right circumstances.

    but me personally i dont care if i fold get min cash even though i satellited in for 4.80 would be good return.

    I want to get as many chips i can get to final table etc give me best chance of taking it down for a big bink (that i`ve no had in a while lol).

    also on another note well done beatin doh in the hu m8

    Yeah you can only really fold here if it is a satelite. In a standard MTT, it's just to much of a +EV spot to ever fold. Over a large sample size folding here is bad.
