    Nope never in a bajillion years.

    Before you raise, if you have any doubt in your mind about what to do if someone shoves, don't even bother raising, just shove yourself.

    I would shove anyway.......and would be doing so alot wider than AKs on the bubble.

    AKs is the nuts here.

    No, you were unlucky to run into queens and lose the flip this time. Play it the same way in future. 
     
    In tournaments never play for the min cash, playing for the win is the most profitable strategy. Perhaps the only exception is if you find yourself completely crippled and down to your last few chips after losing an all-in situation just before the bubble and a few folds might get you over the line.

    Cheers fellas guess it's just that I'm running bad currently.

    Another observation, the the last hand before a break (as this was) seems to always be an action hand.

    Is it just me or can these hands (ones just before the break) be deadly?

    Yes!!!!

    Last hand before, and especially the first hand I play after the break always breaks me. 

    I think sitting down, drinking beer for an hour, really hits you when you stand up during the break. And come back thinking you can make anyone fold anything !!!

    Glad it's not me that often cripples my chip stack straight after a break.
