pushbotting???

[DLKeeper1]

can someone fully explain pushbotting and when to use it...I often find myself on the bubble with 10-15 BB and feel somewhat lost

A pushbot is a program you download that plays for you when the tournament is almost over. It's so you can play like 3-4 tables at once. It's of course frowned upon (AND ILLEGAL!!!) to use a pushbot so I can't tell you where to go.

DLK,

Also, you should be aware that pushbotters often use their program in conjunction with a pattern mapper, which can be a devastating combo.

Your stack is such that a standard PF raise leaves you pot comitted, so you push all-in PF or fold. Stick to fairly strong hands in early position, pushing weaker hands closer to the button.

That is greatly oversimplified though. Read/post hands here and you should develop a feel for it.

I hope this isn't a gimmick account, so here goes my definiton: Pushbotting is a style of play, generally started when your stack gets down to 10 bb or less. You look at your cards and the probability you will be called and the probability your hand will be good if called. Using this information you either raise all in or fold. SNG power tools is the software a lot of people use to help you review your results and get better at it.

Doc is right. Read the FAQ if you want to learn more about ICM and tools like SNGPT.

Otherwise, post hands you are having trouble with.
