BB defend on bubble

It’s also good to know what kind of player we are dealing with, but overall I would use the tight approach and just fold with a speculative hand as K6s. You have only flush potential and if you hit a K you could end up dominated.

As played I would go for the passive approach and check/call. If you check/raise you almost play for stacks and we don’t want to blow up the pot with only a draw on the bubble.

Agree with SDK on the passive line coz you don't trigger much FE on such boards. Further, remember that according to the ICM every chip you lose is more valuable than the chip you win at this point. The fact, that despite you disguise your FD (which also depends on your image of how you play the draws) your opp may not want to pay you if you hit coz by the turn he is not likely to have a strong hand, also adds up to a passive line.

Some VPIP/PFR stats on the villian would be useful, but best just to fold pre, you will find better spots than this to put pressure on the other players on the bubble
