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.

Trying to "pwn" idiots (which will be 95% of your opponents.. more if you play low stakes).

Yeah. Unless there's someone super short with just over 1BB. Then you can push around almost anyone for 4 or 5 orbits before someone spite calls you.
