interesting spot what would yall do here?

[jbarker305]

16 people left, 15 make money, I am chip leader and second place has like 32k in chips. I am unsure if i played this hand correctly. Let me start off saying that we are on the money bubble so i took that into account on making this decision and playing the hand as i ended up playing it. When the Villian opens preflop to 7500 which was half of his stack he obviously is comitting himself to this hand. There is 0% chance he folds if i reraise him all in preflop. Also since he is commiting to this hand and we are on the money bubble i am assuming that he has a strong hand because with his stack he could have folded out all his hands till the money bubble broke. So taking all of that information into account i would like everyone to take a look at this hand and let me know what they all think.........aka if i played it correctly or if you guys would have done something differently and if so, why. Thanks ahead of time guys i really appreciate the feedback because it is stuff like this that makes us all better players.

[PokeYourFace]

i'd ship it, just to see what they do on bubble. its not a 0% fold chance

[potfan42o]

not a bad fold keep those chips for ft imo

[potfan42o]

im watching ft cl tid

[CloudyMinded]

you don't know what cards he had, i would have folded 88, but that's just me...i'm a nit player, lol

[jbarker305]

yes PokeYourFace the villian who opened pre to 7500 had roughly like 15k at the start of the hand so him opening pre for 50% of his stack and then folding to me moving all in is NEVER going to happen. So keeping that in mind, him choosing to make his stand now like 2 from the money makes me assume he thinks he has a monster like at the very least a top 10 hand.......10-10+ AJs+ and so knowing that information i thought the best move was to fold there

[dpadgett1]

bubble time best spot to increase. i wouldve gone allin personally

[mpulsive07]

Funky raise size he made there... I woulda folded just from pure confusion...Y raise that much that late in tourney? That's early tourney raise size IMO. First guess is he had a hand that he was scared to play post flop. TT, JJ, A10 thru maybe AQ ...Who knows I woulda just folded lol.

[jbarker305]

ya he took a VERY confusing line and i just couldnt think of any hands really i am beating that he could be 5x'ing pre for half of his stack with and since he did make it half his stack pre there is no way he is going to fold to a reshove from me preflop. Flatting his 75400 bet pre is HORENDOUS literally the worst choice i could make, because lets say i flat and completely airball the flop, we know that no matter what comes on the flop he is going to ship in his last 7500 so like its either a reraise all in preflop or fold preflop there are no other options.......

[jbarker305]

also guys the $3.30 1R1A @10pm server time that this hand was taken from for discussion, well i just won the whole tournament. Was my 3rd or 4th mtt i have ever played on Black Chip Poker and it feels nice to be able to run decent and play well for a change and win a tournament again.
