[Yahkin 0]

24 Left, 18 paid. First hand after 2nd break. I'm sitting 18th after paying the blinds. I can likely fold to the money at this point.I've been agressive since 40 left and had built my stack to 12k. Lost 5k when my AK < AT and blinded to this point. MP2 had also been agressive stealing at least twice per circuit, sometimes 3. He had folded to reraises on several occaisons.Standard spot to shove?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)UTG+1 (t23520)MP1 (t5798)MP2 (t11632)CO (t10515)Hero (t5849)SB (t5766)BB (t16520)UTG (t6445)Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, 9. 3 folds, MP2 raises to t1800, 1 fold, Hero ???

24 left with 18 paid isn't really the bubble if you ask me, in $4.40s people care WAAAY too much about cahing and it could be a while before you actually get there, 30-40 minutes, is not too unlikely

I'm sitting 18th after paying the blinds. I can likely fold to the money at this point.

ok, lol. Fold to the money, make a $4 profit, and pat yourself on the back. Honestly, who cares if you can fold to the money, you have a strong hand against a player who is on a wide range. Sure, he is never folding this is reality getting the price unless he is a bad player, but you'll have him crushed a lot here considering its a $4.40 and he could easily be raising with A-rag.Instashove, Phil Hellmuth style

Ok, not gonna let these sit out there too long as they seemed straight forward. Just checking my game.I did shove em in. MP2 did fold, but BB woke up with a hand.

Ugh.. Nothing worse than making the correct read, the correct play, and then having some dude behind you wake up with a monster.Still the right play regardless, only 5 hands ahead of you.

Honestly, in these things you should be exploiting bubble play against those who care about cashing and aiming for a top3 finish. I'm not saying the cash bubble isn't important, but if you have an edge on the bubble, usually its a bad idea to play passively in hopes of squeaking into the money unless ur desperately shortstacked.
