Too aggro on 6max bubble?

edited January 2014 in The Poker Clinic
Was this my gamble demon at work or was it a reasonable move?

Bigstack to my left meant I couldn't get too far out of line and I was looking to even up the chip stack.

But I was accumulating off the player to my right - safer play would have been to fold and should have got the 2nd cash - if managed to stack the shorter player I would have been in reasonable shape for the HU.

However I felt the C/R would have seemed super strong but in truth I had committed to it and should have reevaluated after opponents chunky bet.

    What did you put him on is probably the question to ask?

    For me, with the all in, I can't see you being good here EVER, he has to have one of the many hands that beat you.  I think the pot size bet on the turn is too big as well, I actually don't think it commits you, you should have still folded. but it makes the decision harder, were 500-600 would have given you a lot more wiggle room.

    I was unsure about the flop min raise - I had tightened up in hands with big stack to my right and he could have just been trying to push me off a hand cheaply.

    The pot size bet should have made me fold - only hand I am ahead of would be a pair+str8 draw or pair+lower flush draw. Shove could have got weaker hands that are beating me to fold too.

    The size of that bet meant I could only fold or shove - having pre-planned a C/R I made a bad move.

    The fold still leaves me with healthy stack v shortie.

    Wasn't really expecting any support for the shove here - just shaming myself to make sure I remember this spot and learn from it.

    Opponent had 92off and I didn't hit the flush, T, or another pair, but I did have plenty of outs.
