I think it all depends on the players at your table and of course your table image. If I'm catching cards and have kept my M above the orange zone (10 or more) I will really pass on pushing hands as you describe (weak aces A2-A-6). But if I've been card dead and quiet at the table I will open up and push the weak aces, K10, 78s marginal type hands to prevent from falling into the red zone (M 5 or less). I think you will get a wide range of opinions on this however, as some players are naturally more conservative and others like to gamboool more.

Playing super tight on bubble is right in some people's opinions, yet others are extremely successful completely abusing the bubble pushing practically any two. And yet others such as myself fall smack in the middle, it all depends on your playing style. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Don't use M for STTs. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

M is orbits until you blind out; BBs is your FE, which matters more in an STT. It's easier to calculate too. And if you use pushing tables based on M you will be making some big -EV errors.

Use ICM to calculate the equity you need, and your opponents calling ranges to calculate the equity you have. If the latter > the former, push. Ditto for calling AI (where you have to be very tight).
