Part of my Poker New Years resolution is to post more hands. Been having problems near the bubble and here is an example. I do not care if I min cash.

What is your play. I have 13 BB and the Killbuck is a 19/7/60 (vp,pfr,af). No reads other than I think the big stack is bullying the bubble.

The hand converter does not seem to like PT3 and do not have original hand anymore.

Your choices are shove or fold, in my opinion. If your image on the button has been weak: not being aggressive folding to raises before you, then I would shove he is probably trying to steal. However, if you have been aggressive and a solid image he could be raising with a tight range and a fold would probably be the best. Personally, I would shove just becasuse it is the “BigDog”.

Seemed like a no brainer shove, but wanted some other opinions since big stack is never folding if he has half a brain (on merge that is always in doubt though).

I shove here as u may have 13BB but with Antes its less. In this spot, as you say, im looking towards the win rather than the cash, so we need to double up.

I have seen ppl make it 7k to go here, obviously not folding to shove, making it look super strong. But shove, flop quads and get a nice stack.

Killbuck is never folding to a shove here based on his stack and the odds you're giving him. I'd rather just hold onto my chips and wait for a spot to open ship with fold equity instead of taking this marginal spot where you're raising at best.

I fold here. He is 3xing into 4 short stacks, dont see him r/f much and you are flipping or crushed most of the time. No fold equity = fold, unless he has been rly active and shown he will r/f spots like this.

+1 to Guitey and Wein. Doubt a guy on those stats has shown himself to be very aggro and even though it's bubble time he probably is not shifting too much based on the passive sample.

You're lucky to have shorties behind you so I'd rather keep jamming into them than go with 55 here.
