Silly question A6 from the UTG near to the bubble
Hi,
I played $11 gladiator on partypoekr and I have one question which can be silly but i need to know if i was correct , not or close.
I dont have HH for this due to the last big changes on the site but i will try to describe it by my own.
I was sitting on the fist position (8 max) so i opened form UTG for 2.x with A6s. It was my 3d open in row. I had around 50bb and the UTG +1 calls behind me having ~45bb after that all players fold to the BB who squeezd to 7.5 BB having around 45-50bb. So lets say we all were effective 45bb deep.
First thing is that it was really small sqz and I had a playable hand so I could easly call due to my pot odds which was kinda gr8.
The player behind me was kind of solid player and for the BB i do not have any specific information.
Im not really bother about player from the UTG+1 because he is probably on the weaker site on his range. In case with BB it might be different.
My first thought was he had KK-AA if he is sqzing so small the rest he is probably raising much bigger or JAMING due to the positional disadvantage.
I made a fold because of the dude behind me who could easly call with hands which dominates me, like AJ-AQ also im capped when im calling in that spot. But the fact is i had Ace which blocks AA and AK which im scared of the most. Second of all I can pay 5 more BB to win quite alot so implied odds were big enaugh to risk.
Im so confused with that because i saw the outcome and it was like near to bubble phase in the tournament. I feel like I have lost the chance to get the really healthy stack and fight for the FT because id did not take a risk for that. In cashgames which i play mainly it would be probably quite easy spot for me. But in MTT im not sure. I was thinking about JAMMING as I caould look strong enaugh and have a nice blocker and some fold equity but it was not worth in this moment of tournament i guess. Too much risk and a little reward.
What are your thoughts on that ? Should I call or fold ? or maybe JAMMING would be ok ?
Sorry for my english and maybe a little chaos in writting.
cheers guys

A6 Suited is a fold utg+1. It’s the worst suited A as it can’t flop a straight and kicker will rarely play.
thanks but this is not enaugh for me.
Im opening any suited ace utg while antes are in play unless its a tough table. And thats when its not on the bubble. I do play a bit on the loose side though.
The small raise size could be indication of KK+ but it could also be an indication of someone who doesnt know what theyre doing in a $10 mtt. The problem is you have a person behind you who is likely to call when you call and this hands value tanks multiway. Often you're against a better ace and pocket pair higher than 6. It's also harder to bluff multiway meaning you need to flop a flush draw, two pair or trip 6s to want to get any money in the pot. So I think you went the resonable route here and just folded. I think shoving is too spewy without reads on the 3bettor. The sizing doesnt mean the 3bettor is super strong but it does increase the likelihood he shows up with KK+. Also its a $10 mtt so ppl are less likely to care if they bubble than a higher buy in with a smaller field. And you're near the bubble not actually on the bubble. All those lead me to not wanting to 4b shove here
Doesn't seem like a silly question to me. I'd post something about the fold but Sexton pretty much has it covered.
thanks to all of you guys. it helped me alot
