This is a hand that I played Sunday on GGPoker. Here we are almost on the money bubble, with 120 players left until the min cash (around 10 min left - 6-7 more hands to be played ). The min cash is $ 5.89 and also the format is Mystery Bounty.

What is your action here? Do you call or fold?

My experiences in these kinds of spots either has me flipping a coin or dominated, and in this spot you wouldn't even be doing it for a bounty, as SB has you covered. Personally I think TT is not strong enough to call here.

I am snap calling here. TT is a very strong hand, and if we fold it, we are folding so often, that SB can jam almost any two napkins and show a profit. And I dont think, we are always behind or flipping. I think SBs range contain all pairs, suited wheel aces and hands like JTs, which we are significantly ahead of. Also in any bounty format it has value to become a big stack, because then you can contend for more bounties.

i would fold in that situation, pocket tens can easily be beaten.

Mystery bounty tournament, he covers you, easy fold, since you cover 3 others at the table for a bounty later.
Stats look solid, no 50 % VPIP player, no other reads.
Even if he has AK, AQ , you are dominated and GG runouts are mostly(more than 2/3 of the time) with an A, K or Q in the community cards.

It's sad, but it's a fold, 3 smaller stacks are not good to call this on the bubble, the calling range is extremely short, it would be more or less a QQ+

The Mystery bounty aspect of this is important when we double we do cover 2 more stacks but when we bust we get no shot at bounties at all--1 bounty could be the top bounty

It would come down to V range. Are they shoving KJs but not QQ---By the way the solver has 0 shoves in the solve I did.

I think you have to call vs weak loose players.
