    i have 3000, blinds are 150/300.

    On the bubble of a tournament, 6 left i'm last in chips. I'm on the BB with 99. Folded around to the button (chip leader). He makes it 1200.

    All in or pass?

    All in. He probably has any two cards and you are a substantial favourite. Someone will inevitably suggest you call and push the flop, this is too fancy, your hand is too good.

    If you were 2nd in chips this would be close

    push in an instant, he's obviously playing aggro against ur low stack and has any two cards.

    Seeing as you are the shortstack it's an easy push. If the pre-flop raiser is a good player then expect a call because he won't/shouldn't have raised the shortstack's (your) BB unless he wanted to dance.

    he is playing the bubble ... and even if he has cards you are only behind to a bigger pocket pair...


    go straight all in , don't give him a chance to hit anything for free....

    of course I would fold if in anything other than last/second last place...

    I had just been moved to the table so i couldnt tell if he was bullying or not. I did move all in, and he had QQ. Someone was watchin the game with me and couldnt believe i moved in there, but i thought it was the right thing to do.

    And i didnt really care about limping into money, i wanted a shot to win it outright.
