The 2nd hand is the very next hand and we are now on the stone bubble. In retrospect I am probably reeling a little from the previous hand (and dreaming of Vegas and the Mirage having doubled into the chip lead!). The very same villains are involved. I recently heard some good strategy discussion on the Chip Race where you discussed taking lower (but still +EV spots) in high ICM situations and thought this might just be one of those spots considering we are covered. I ran it in HRC after and was relieved to see that the EV of flat (+0.5) and 3b to 8bb (+0.61) were not that different but it did prefer shove (+0.91). In reality I'm not sure about 3b small- I feel SB is very likely coming along and likely to pressure me post flop, while even if I knew CO had AQ and was calling a shove I'm not sure about running it versus Ax. How do you think you might have approached it pre-flop?
