Default How important is first in/fold equity on the bubble?

I've been running well/playing well lately in the low buy-in SnG $5-10 regulars. My strategy at bubble time has been raising with A7+, two face cards, and any pair. However I've only been raising when I can be first one in. It's been working pretty well, however I wonder if this is too tight? If someone raises and I have KJ, AT, etc am I correct to dump it? Of course I realize it depends, and if I see the same person raise 8 hands in a row I'll gladly take AJ against them.

Default Re: How important is first in/fold equity on the bubble?

no one is going to be able to answer this...i would try to take a step back from saying random two-card combinations and spend more time understanding the ideas behind late game pushing (ie ICM, stack sizes, fold equity, push/fold scenarios etc). this should help you gain a feel for why you do what you do late in a sit and go. check the FAQ and links sticky
