Message: [QUOTE="gardin555, post: 6968062, member: 150168"] I think in that instance of the tourny, you should take risk or not take risk, but dont in between. This was a hard blinds war, defining who will survive to the bubble, so if you gonna take the risk then it is an special blinds war. Taking it into account, and plus that BB have only 10 blinds more than you, then you have three moves here: 1-[B]Limp preflop[/B] and see what the opponent do, maybe we can see cheap the flop and catch a set or we can following playing like that, check and see how the opponent react to our moves. I think this could be a standart and safe moves in $22+ tournament. I dont like it , but is an option. 2-[B]Push preflop[/B] is how I like to play it and I think is a better option in this situation to defend our pair trying to make fold to the BB opponent, playing agressively represent a big poket pairs. I think 88 is a medium poket pair and in this case is a weak poket pair for bet small, because OR x2.2 or x3.2bb is the same bet preflop, its an easy and cheap call for the BB to see the flop. The opponent can call with any two cards and see if he can catch on flop with any broadways, AX, any poket pairs 22+ trying to catch a set, etc, I saidhe can call with a very wide range, waiting for catch some good on flop street, in a cheap way. 3- [B]Fold preflop[/B] with 88 from SB at a bubble FT, could be a good option too!! but that will depend of the kind of player BB is , but it could be the safer move here for reach FT. I think that had to be a[B] push or fold[/B] decision, but always depend about the opponents, numbers, etc. Congrats on your finished place in the tournament! 👏 Seems you made a great run! 👏👍 [/QUOTE]
