I know this is a stupid hand to call a bad beat. However, I was near the bubble of the Stratosphere HPT main. I have 200K+ in chips and had made most of my chips from 3-betting light. Very few hands had went to showdown. Villain had 300K. I 3 bet a MP raiser who was raising from middle position at least 50%. He immediately goes all in. I think for about five minutes. He was displaying several signs of weakness, breathing, etc.. I felt as if the immediate all-in was suspicious. We were near the bubble and I thought there was a good chance he was just titled from my all my 3-betting (I had 3 bet this particular opponent about 4 times in under 2 hours bc he was raising so light and he had folded each time). This could be the one time he woke up with a hand. However, after thinking about it, I really think he's just trying to send me message and exploit the bubble. I call. He immediately gives a sheepish look and says good call. He displays 3-6o and I have AQs. Flop is 2-4-5. I am bubble boy. I know I was only a 2:1 favorite, but I think that's a really stupid hand to bubble a major event with.
