Even with a slight lead on the other short stack, the size of the blinds and the turbo nature of the structure dictates that you’re going to have to win an all in pretty soon. This is a solid spot; you have a good chance of dominating the SB and are doing very well against their range on the whole.
Calling off your chips with a weak ace in a satellite on the bubble isn’t standard, but in a hyper-turbo you can’t afford to be so selective.
What actually happened: You called and the SB showed K8. They rivered a K to win and you were eliminated.

This is an easy call (although the quiz seems messed up and the options dont make sense). With the blind to stack ratio and a hyper turbo structure, people are shoving any decent king, any ace, any pair, and the occasional mid/high suited connectors. Youre crushing that range, nows as good a time as ever.

Agreed, options don’t make sense. If you are first to act, it’s a shove all day. And this is a call pretty much every time. Since it’s a hyper turbo, you are generally against any two. Especially on the bubble with the big stack doing the shoving.

Given the nature of this situation – short-stacked, three players, turbo, A10 is pretty strong. Insta-call.

No brainer, easy call. Let’s get those option fixed, Staff!

What? What’s up with the options and why don’t they have call-fold? That is the clear play.

Insta-jam. ATo defends against anything with less than 10BB in a heads up; this situation isn’t really that different. I would have jammed UTG as well.
