    daisy181: shows [8s 6h] (high card Ace - lower kicker)
    wavegoodbye collected 200 from main pot
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 2000 Main pot 200. Side pot 1800. | Rake 0
    Board [4c 9s Ac Kc Jd]
    Seat 1: Looee folded before Flop
    Seat 3: wavegoodbye (button) showed [Qh 8d] and won (2000) with high card Ace
    Seat 4: daisy181 (small blind) showed [8s 6h] and lost with high card Ace
    Seat 8: rtdmed (big blind) folded before Flop

    The bubble guy had 50 chips left so I knew I was in the money. I tried to limp in hoping that nobody would raise. When wavegoodbye pushed all in, I folded so I wouldn't lose out on the cash. I just didn't want the bubble guy to catch 2 pair or something like that and get knocked out in 4th. I suppose the best play would have been to push but I just didn't want to risk it so close to the money.

    Terribly weak. Raise pre-flop next time. Understand your limp looks weak and no one will put you on a hand like JJ so they may shove light.

    As played sure you can fold, but you need to open shove this and eliminate the dude w/ 50 chips.

    Agreed again. $800 in the pot is valuable for you at this point. IMO this is a good shove spot for you regardless of whether he calls or folds. You need these chips and his range is huge, you're likely way ahead. Folding isn't even an option. Even the way you played it pre-flop I still snap call his all-in.

    Theres no way this is a fold. You shove pre. Limping/folding is retarded and shows why your stats arn't good at all over a 1k sample size.

    Dude. you have like 6 bb's how are you seriously going to limp into this anyways? is this a joke?
