Daniel72ko: :confused:

What do we know about villain? How has he been playing since stacks became short and blinds and antes became large? Is he opening wide to take advantage of a tight table, or is this an active table and he's been keeping it tight?

I think this is too good a hand to be folding with just over 10bb in a turbo. I imagine next prize stepup is at 18, we've sneaked onto final three tables, now it's time to push for final table. I'm happy to bust out now with 88 because I'm not expecting to sneak onto the next payout by nitting it up.

Even if this guy has been nitty, it might indicate patience to final three tables and then a push for final table. More often than not we're flipping, and him folding or calling is fine. When he has 99+, nh, pick your coat up.

I'm shoving this.

This is probably right on the borderline of being a fold.

I'd certainly be folding this if it wasn't a turbo.
