5$ SNG 9man A9o

I don’t think I would fold top pair top kicker here against 2nd in chips, but is most likely the best option on the bubble. Most likely was the best option to push pre-flop on the bubble. Off course you need a lot of fold equity against the 2 bigger stacks to call to make a push here profitable and that could be a issue here as well.

Hello,

isn't it a lot of risk to shove A9o for 15BB when a player has 5BB behind at the bubble?

It’s risky for sure. That’s why you need to be sure that the SB and BB will fold a lot of the time if you make a move like this. Otherwise I would fold A9o as 3rd in chips right away.

Naturally, I'd have followed exactly the line offered (but I'd have reluctantly called on the flop).

Isn't your range too tight if you fold even A9o 4-handed? I mean, most players will see that we don't raise much and sweetly fold against our raises. In other words, is the minraise too loose in these situations?

It depends, because if the bigger stacks will shove a lot on you need to fold a lot of the time here. If they are pretty tight I would min-raise here as well, but without info I would play shove/fold against a unknown BB.

Ok, thanks!
