What do you do and why?


This happened to me 2 weeks ago on Noble. I made the lay down and was happy tp find I was up against a straight and a set both. The river would have made my flush and would have doubled me up but would not have been the winning hand unless I hit a draw. It knocked out a stack bigger than mine and put me in the money.

How would you handle it?

That was a great lay down IMO. I would have done the same thing. It's always good to play rather conservatively while on the bubble, especially if your chip stack is in the middle-range of the tournament. I would only move in if I had the sure thing or if I knew I had the best hand. I would have to be absolutely sure.

Most people would agree that it's better to sit on the bubble and cash than rolling the bones in that type of situation. I happen to agree with most people in this situation.
