haven't got other players chip count.

think 1 had around 1000 the other the rest.

if i'd won this hand  by player x folding p/f  i would almost certainly cash but felt aipf  here with A rag was ok.

although it could easily have been a fold too, as i still had 2000 chips left.

ps; i normally fold Ax  as my thought is only play it if needed, so maybe it's a fold looking at it.

     althouigh i always play the bubble strongly, as here, so maybe i'm being result oriantated this time as i've lost out this time?

Hi fella.

For me depends on how table has been playing, if you have shoved a fair but recently I would fold Ae Sb v BB as get called light and do we want a flip? If table has a shorter stack - easy fold here.

If you are short - easy shove.

Table is tight, easy shove again.

As long as you are shoving just to get it through wouldnt have a major problem, knowing if called probably in a spot of bother. Soon as they call I think Kx is best we can hope for, and pocket pair has us in trouble as does any Ax 

I tend to shove a tighter range late stage in low stakes DYM, gets called far lighter

Dont love it because opponent so short that he will call really wide and never going to be too far ahead.

Thanks Nuggy,

yeah, i always play Ax as allin obviously hoping to take blinds/dead chips, etc without getting called.

if it gets through here, which it often would i cash for sure.

with 1 player on 1000 chips i probably should fold here so lesson learnt...

my old saying 'only play AX if you need to' needs reminding.

still won session 5-1 so no biggy. 6-0 next time
