    What do you think of this fold?

    I felt that it was a coin flip at best as JTZ seemed pretty tight

    If he's tight like you say, your laydown was probably a good one because he has you covered, and if you lose, you're out.

    If he's tight, A-A. K-K, and Q-Q are all possibilities that have you crushed. The only unpaired hands a tight player would move with are A-K and maybe A-Q.

    Your M is about 16.5, so you can afford to wait for a bit, but not too much longer.

    I prob just ship that all in pre. You can increase your stack by 20% or double up w/ the best hand. Too be honest, If I am JTZ I am putting you all in w/ basically any 2 cards. Just because it is the bubble and there is a shortstack. But then again I am not playing to make the money, I am playing for 1st.
