    Big stack is obv bubble bashing and shoves for 20k @ 500/1k blinds from the co into the 4k shorty. I have 15k and can just sit out til money and have aj on the button. Now I was in for like 155 in the 50 1 re 1ao and 18-10th pays 180. Because I am ahead of his range prob by a lot Im supposed to call right and basically not care that I could bubble?

    I lay down AJ in a heartbeat.....he could easily be shoving with AQ or AK here. Even if he isn't, no reason to risk all your chips against chip leader with AJ

    ^^^^^^^^^^^ i agree but i see y you might want to call....not a bad play to raise all in but to call all in here is probably a -EV play...curious as to what you did ans how it ended up

    fold all day...range is so wide...ur probably 60-40...maybe slightly better, maybe ur killed, why risk ur entire stack when ur invested for an ante

    I probably fold, but a call is fine too. You're probably ahead if you want to take a shot. the fact that you have only invested an ante is irrelevant.

    Not that results really matter but..... theres the hand. And shouldn't I take any slight edge to try to get to the top 3 or so spots where the money acutally matters instead of cashing and making 30 bucks? And dont try to tell me that Im not ahead of his range I knew I was obv or else I would have folded, Im just interested in seeing peoples thoughts on If this was a good spot to "gamble."

    Wow. He didn't exactly have the type of commanding stack that one would normally want to have to be making moves like that. Then he talked shit about your call.......
