hypothetical ME bubble question.

[thefairy]

You sat intot he wsop through a $500 comp on stars to the ME. You are elated , you post many times on pokerisrigged about it and there are numerous cries of ship it and lolfish. You are then overshadowed by the news platefish is buying in direct. ****.

Anyway, oyu have a solid main event, you bust jamie gold and get owned by doyle a few times. You was meant to get to the feature table, for a 10k payout, but the new 3 time bracelet winner Nick Pateman decides against it as he is busy playing the cash table behind ME table 517, since he cannot two table whilSt on the feature table he refuses. ****.

ITS bubble time, (assume you don't get a ME package for next year on the bubble) you are on the button with 13 bbs, average is about 40bbs. Youve been card dead all day. You just get dealt aces!!!! theres a shove from early position with 15bbs! and mid position taaaaaaank shoves with 20bbs, the whole of the room is up watching all hands have appeared to be played out on other tables and are waiting for this bubble to burst on your table.

-would you call? think you have only invested 500 bucks, you hae had a good time and you could end up 9.5 k if you fold here.

- if you fold, surely you should be just accepting the 10k in torny dollars from stars and not have entered the ME?

- If you call, you are risking 10k, a sum which to all of us is huge

- If you call aces, would you do so with kings?

-assume we are all at the same level of bankroll we are now etc.

daft question SNAP IT IN!!! 3 way pot for 39bbs with aces? you're a fish if you fold! 9.5k is a lot, but if i'm having a solid tournament and bust the monster pro jamie gold + have the chance to possibly play at the same table as the famous nick platefish if i go a little deeper, that would be a dream come true.

i shuold also add, that as this is the bubble of the ME, people are Uuuuber tight, MP is probably tank calling with qq/kk. We are probably against other top 5 hands which we are CRUSHING (KK/QQ/AK) rather than hands like JQ/KQ, which although we're still crushing have better equity vs. AA

I call and run to pates to ask for insurance. He tells me to **** off. claims he's never met me then turns and laughs with Ivey and Antonious about me.

I lose and get some ESPN tv time as the bubble boy. I use this tv time to abuse nick pateman and have a rant about when I used to rail him at low stakes MTTs on stars before he came too cool for me.

It is an interesting question though, 9.5k is a lot of money and if I was really struggling for cash (as in struggling to live) then I'd deffo fold with 13bbs on the bubble and just fold my way into the cash. But yeeeee stick it in!

i fold, thing is how ****ing sick would people feel if you TAAAAANK with aces , ultimate slowroll. I actually fold, as i am now 10k would be such a sick ship, plus i might get a decent spot later. Thing is think of the sheer gravity of 10k. If this is a a standard torny we all snap shove. I want the gravity of it to come accross, i just couldnt bring myself to call for 10k.

You understand against QQ&KK we are only like a 60/40 to win, that being said we really should be calling.

... you should've taken the tournament dollars then sir!

Hypothetically not fold is correct super tight play, Since everyone wants to eat you like fish food cause 13bb is minuscule. I'm sure they'll put you on the "make a wish" hand because they put the $ in the pot and it looks good. You have a better hand than both of them. How many hands can you expect to play with 10bb. Sad, the gravity will come when you walk off. Liking the air time and ragging pates comment on tv.

Btw fairy I just realised, this is more like a 19k decision. If I remember the normal bubble payout
