Imagine: The bubble is about to burst in the Unibet Open Cannes. There is one last player to bust before getting to the money!
6th decision:
This is a new hand.
You are on the bubble now. Just one short of the money!
As usual at this time, most of the players will fold anything, the short stacks try to hold on as long as possible… and it lasts for ages…
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?
Well, the flop may come to help or hinder, but with this set 5♣5♠5♥, and with two hearts on the table could favor the villain, yet I would CALL, he is a tight player, I think he could have A♣K♠, or other top pair in their hands, just hope he has not K♣K♥
