Until this one hand where the player on the Button limps in on your big blind. He has 25BB in his stack.

As far as you know, he has qualified via a satellite tournament, and he is a very tight player who hasn’t played a hand for 2 hours.

The woman in the Small Blind folds.

So you are in the Big Blind. You hold 5♣Q♦ and your stack is 25BB. The exact same amount as the villain.

A bit tired, you casually tap the table and dully say, “Check”.

FLOP:

5♠5♥K♥

This is the kind of board that wakes you up immediatly!

His eyes hidden behind his sun glasses, villain pushes all his chips in the middle and says “All In”.

What do you do?

I'm on the bubble where players are notoriously tight. Nobody wants to be the bubble boy and everybody just wants to make the money. This means making some super tight folds and giving up really strong hands. People may say i'm crazy but I think this is one of those situations.

First of all villain limps. He is unlikely to have a premium hand here. Bubble or not I think he is raising with AA and KK every time here with a 25bb stack. 

Our focus in this hand should be on this: very tight player who hasn’t played a hand for 2 hours.

Do we really think he is going to just get crazy and ship his stack in here right on the bubble without the nuts here? I don't. He won't be doing it with a draw or even a weak Kx taking in the bubble factor. I doubt he had AK or KQ as villain would have raised pre flop. I can't seem to put villain on anything but A5. Now that is a limpers hand! Middle pocket pairs wouldn't ship it with a K on board and weaker 5x hands would just be open folded.

Making the money is paramount to me. I'm sickened to fold this but locking up a cash is what this game is all about. It's a hard fold and it sickens me but the player type and information we have is a huge factor in this hand. Hasn't played a hand in 2 hours and just ships? Come on!

I FOLD!!!
