Hi,

i was short on stack in the bubble of this SNG and my question is was it right to play that cards all in or is it in general better to all in just top pairs like AA KK QQ even under 10xBB. Just bad luck this time or a misstake to allin JAs in that position. Thanks for advices!

JAs in bubble on 1.50$ SNG 9max

This is 45 man + sng ? Because your title says 9 max.

Anyway, your hand is just to strong to fold when you only have 4.8 bb. I rember when i was attending a coach that the coach said you can push any2 when you fall under 5bb.

Now if u say you are on the bubble you have to think what is your plan, you want to try to win this SNG or you just want to get ITM and cash in any amount of money.

This is what that coach used for Push or Fold when he played MTSnG.

There are 7 players left and there aren’t enough chips in play to be a 45 man. There is 15k chips at the table. It’s more likely a Fifty50 SNG with 5 players paid, but even than I can’t fold AJs first in. The chips have decent value in the end and you can’t fold ITM like in a double or nothing.
