I was playing bubble on a satellite (top 3 paid, 4 remaining) and we all had roughly 12-14bb. I faced an UTG shove and I had AJo which I folded and showed. Villain showed 56 suited and I told everyone I’m pretty sure I had to fold no matter what (especially because the other players weren’t super strong) to which the other players laughed. I ended up getting the ticket. Was that the right play with that many blinds? Given I did think he was shoving pretty wide there.
Yeah you absolutely made the right fold. Your risk premium in this situation will be massive. You want to be the one shoving, not the one calling. i.e. shove wide, call tight. The only mistake you made is showing the table. 65s isn't even the worse hand that they can shove in this situation. I'd highly recommend using HRC Beta to run these spots to see how wide you can shove and just how tight you have to call in these spots.

I actually won a platinum pass for the PSPC and played. Rivered Selbst on day 1, manage to get to day 2 and busted jamming JJ with 25bb from SB after HJ OR 2.2x and BTN called. If I would've know this by then.. I've would've just called and folded on the river or turn bet, knowing what came on the streets. Great analysis guys!
Congrats on making winning a platinum pass and playing the PSPC! From the brief details of the hand history I think you played the hand perfectly. You should play the PSPC as a normal tournament, which is obviously very different from a satellite. Unless you were on the bubble of course.
I hope Simpson has read and re-read Dara's book. I watched his twitch streams a few times when he was throwing a ton of money at Plat Pass satties (against some of the best players in the world), and it was kind of painful to watch what looked like ICM suicide attempts. He really hates folding! This is a great video, btw. :)
Gareth & Dara - Thank you so much for this video. I had a similar spot with KK on the BTN facing a jam by a VERY PATIENT UTG+1. At the time I decided to fold the KK and I did advance; however, I have always wondered if I made the correct decision. I am 100% the UTG+1 had a VERY STRONG range, perhaps even AA. A pro, Ryan Laplante, chimed in letting me know the fold was OK (assuming I could fold into a seat and I could).

This is different than I would of played and good to think about. I'm playing these WSOP main event steps were there are huge jumps step to step.
Glad you found it thought provoking. Good luck in the WSOP ME steps!!!

Word on the street is that Ian has now read Dara's book. Shout out to him for letting us review this hand, though. He knew it was probably a bad call.

Very deep for satellites
Yeah, it's a unique spot for sure.
