it was a sit n go i went for the call thinking it would be easier to prevent nashey winning the hand then on the flop i made a massive raise thinking he would fold anyway but after what happened on the turn i question in late stages of tournements should i just fold preflop when ever i am ahead of most chip wise. in this case top 3 won equal as it was turbo DYM.

    Nashey is so short after posting blind its pretty crazy to get involved here once the BTN raises. Chances are he has a better hand than Nashey if he decides to shove his last few chips in so we need not get involved.

    Once flop hits you both like that its always going in..UL

    It's a DYM, you're on the bubble and one of the players has less than 2xBB and already has 1 of them in the pot. You could probably fold AA in this spot. Just no need to get involved at all, you don't need to win chips, just outlast the short stack and you win the same as everyone else.

    Hi Craig

    Sorry m8 but a very poor decision to be in the pot as bubble has a micro  micro stack ........you can fold forever here and for the rest of T and probably guarantee a cash.  Even specialised 'bubble factors calcs' will tell you to fold KK here probably, maybe even AA......and defo let it go with any stubborness once micro folds in bb. It really is a no brainer here Craig. The only reason to get involved in a pot is when micro gets involved and you can employ implicit collusion with one of the others to increase the odds of getting rid of him.

    Defo fold, no need to get involved like someone said, everyone always has outs (especially on this site)
