Right. BT is essential.

Usually getting down to 4 with 2500-3500 chips.

I've found that often times bubbling isn't because you are playing incorrect poker on the bubble but that you are playing incorrect pushfold poker prior to the bubble. Because of this you may be entering the bubble very shortstacked giving players the correct odds to call your shoves etc.

Also, try not to shove when you have a lot of players to go through (in early pos.) try and keep them to late pos unless you have a really good hand or are crazy shortstacked.

Having 2500 chips when it's down to 4 would be a luxury to me.

Not having good reads for calling/pushing ranges on the bubble, if you misread on the bubble the EV can drastically change.

BT is good for getting a good idea about icm play, but SNGW (prolly SNGPT too) are necessary so you can play with ranges, stack sizes, etc and analyze specific situations from your actual games. This analysis is more helpful than just quizing. This identifies problems in YOUR game...
