    Vlose to bubble number 6 of 60 at time of hand. If I lose I'm pissed I that i called. Especially if Ace hits. But after seeing it play out, I would have been chip leader with double the stack of number two and i'm wondering if this is the hand i need to get me to a top 3. I consistantly make the money but at avg to medium stack and only get top 3 with good cards/winning races. Close to bubble number 6 out of 60 at time of hand.

    A read on the player who was shoving and also how you are playing is key of course but regardless I think this is a call given how much dead money is in the pot and the potential for him squeezing this really good spot.

    it depends on if the player who shoved was aggressive and whether or not he viewed you as the type to open light in EP. The first call looks kind of strong too...idk its close, but i probably would've folded here.

    i think you have to call here.. like you said, it was near the bubble so the villain might just be trying to play that.. even if it does seem like a tight spot, i think you're ahead here most of the times.. also if i were you, i'd post first without results to generate more discussion without being results oriented.. without results i'd have to think more, but still probably lean towards a call = p
