Hi everyone,

I have KJs on the bubble. First to act I have to decide if to push or fold. Nash says it's a push but I think that the BS right behind me calls wider than Nash (77+, AJs+, AJo+). What would be a reasonable range to give him?

The big stack is most likely the fish of the table. So it’s difficult to give him a good range, because he don’t know anything of ICM most likely. So KJs is for me a clear fold here and I wouldn’t be surprised if he called with at least 55+ A8s+, ATo+, KTs+ KJo+, QTs+ QJ here.

Cheers,

I think its a painful fold just because his VPIP is 75%, so even if we say he only calls your shove 30% of the time you only have 52% equity which isnt enough on the bubble when he has you covered.
If he still calls 75% you have 60% equity which still isnt great on the bubble

That makes life complicated if you aren’t the chip leader or short stack on the bubble.
