UKOPS micro, in 50/54. 52 paid. Everyone playing really tight to cash.

I was hovering over the `all in` and `fold buttons.

    Unless you dropped to this stack size by losing a big hand shortly before this, then you've already made too many mistakes in previous hands.

    In that case, asking for advice on this hand is practically irrelevant. However, it's an easy, automatic shove. Don't even consider folding.

    Ok. is it really that bad to fold to cash, or go for it and try to be in with a chance of being up there??

    Assuming this is the £2 tourney right and I think it was a BH?
    Surely you're not that desperate to cling on to get like £2.40 or whatever it'll be for a min cash...

    There are situations where you can cling on till the bubble bursts. Most of them involve very specific table dynamics in which for whatever reason you're not in a position to abuse the bubble.

    This.

    The big money is up top in any tournament and getting that min-cash should never be a consideration. The min-cash usually only just covers your buy-in or doubles it at best. You aren't going to make enough min-cashes in your poker career to cover the entries of all the tournaments you'll play, so you've got to aim to go deep in all of them. Sometimes it means bubbling. That's just part of the game.

    Looking to ladder into the money is certainly going to be -EV in the long-term when it means passing up opportunities to spin-up your stack.
