Poker ICM/Bubble Mistake?

Discussion in 'Poker Forum' started by Poker Advice Latest, Sep 12, 2021.

  1. Hi All,

    Was in the WSOP.com NLH $50 $5,000 Daily [R&A, Super Turbo]

    Blinds: 5,000/10,000 (1,250)

    Final table, pays top 8

    Chip stacks:

    Me(CO) $29834
    NikeNick(BTN) $126552
    ThinkBink(SB) $79940
    Talk2TheHand(BB) $147016
    stdandzooted(UTG) $85768
    oncsjack(UTG1) $56483
    disneydeb(MP) $31904
    EDDYDUDES(LJ) $22918
    Rasta_Raf(HJ) $23585

    Some notes: Was 7/9 place at the time with effectively 3BB. The two slightly smaller stacks seemed to be folding often to get ITM. While I would normally be ok shoving and losing with this hand, I wasn't sure if this was a mistake as we are on the bubble. BB was the chip leader, who I knew would call with his entire range, if no one else did.

    Additional note: I double bought in, and did the add on. So in for $150.


    Pre Flop: Me(CO) with [8d,8s]
    stdandzooted(UTG) folds, oncsjack(UTG1) folds, disneydeb(MP) folds, EDDYDUDES(LJ) folds, Rasta_Raf(HJ) folds, Me(CO) raises all-in 28584, NikeNick(BTN) folds, ThinkBink(SB) folds, Talk2TheHand(BB) calls 18584

    Flop: 5c, Ks, As

    Turn: 4d

    River: 5s


    Final:
    Me(CO) shows [8d,8s]
    Talk2TheHand(BB) shows [7h,Ad]
    Talk2TheHand(BB) wins 73418


    TL;DR - 1 spot away from the money. Shoved with pocket 8s with 3BB left on the Cut-off, got called by BB who was chip leader. Smaller stacks appeared to be folding to get ITM. Did I make a mistake with ICM/ITM considerations?


    Appreciate the feedback!
