Pushing any 2...
 

How many BB's do you have to be down to push with any two, regardless of position or the hand?

4 or less (as long as your opening) is usually what I go by.

It's not as simple as just being down to x BBs..there are other factors..most of which are more pronounced on the bubble

one example is when, if you wait a hand or so, you will be pushing into another player who has just slightly more than you (rather than a big stack)..there are 2 reasons for this..

1) if you win your hand against a big stack on the bubble, your $equity does not rise as much as if you won against the other short stack. (also, if you fold the opponent, it is better to take those chips from the short stack than the big stack.

2) is psychological...a somewhat decent big stack will see you push into him and call a wide range of hands..because he is getting good odds..and he is not ruined if he loses...if you push into the other short stack...they see that if they lose, they will be close to broke...and since he(meaning you) is the short stack, they don't want to risk it..so they will call you with a tighter range..which is good (also most of them don't see that - giving you those..say t900 in chips will put you head of them anyway
--this is my experience..and open to debate..but I think it's accurate


this is just one example of many where there is a greater factor than just how many BBs you are down to..

hopefully others can give more reasons..

I rarely push any 2 from early position against a lot of players.
