What would you do bubble question.

I played in a 124 person $9.90 buy in tournament on stars last night that paid the top 18 spots. 18th was $13.xx. I needed 9th or better to get to $18.xx. First place was over $300.

So here is my situation and you tell me what you would do:

I am in 16th of 19 players remaining with about $5500 in chips. The blinds are $200/$400/$50. All tables are playing hand for hand.

I am in the SB (or LB as OhCaptain calls it <--did I miss a change in terms?).
The button has $12,000
The BB has $7500

The button has been raising quite a bit and folding to shoves. He raises to $950 (his standard raise).

I have AQoff.

What would you do?

if looking to cash, I'd just fold and wait.

If he's been raising quite a bit, then your AQ is probably in good shape against his range generally. If you really care about the $13, then obviously you fold. If you're a Man, you play it and recognize that you either (1) lose and thus lose your chance at a lousy $4 profit or (2) actually give yourself a chance to make a run at the 3 hundy. You know which one I would choose....

I would shove and pray unless there is at least one player that has less than 2BB remaining. I agree with Hoy that your AQ is generally in good shape versus an active button's opening range. You are firmly in a push-fold spot given your stack size relative to the blinds, but you still have fold equity in addition to your hand strength. Although I hate that it's the bubble, you might be hard pressed to find better spots in the next 2 orbits or so.

Some call it a little blind, sometimes I'm way to tired to be near a keyboard...

Although you have the hand of the devil and doomed if you play it, it's the right decision to shove there. Folding to $13 isn't really all that fun. You have enough chips to make the others know this is their tournament as well.

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was
wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had
issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
