How low before you'll push A2?

[juris]

One of the things I'm trying to balance in my game is the need to accumulate chips vs. playing any ace for my stack as the blinds increase.

At how many blinds will you push any ace from early position? From mid-position? From the button folded to you with blinds that have you covered by a factor of five?

How much does the bubble impact these decisions for you when you're short stacked?

FWIW, I am not talking about having an M of 10. How about 5? 3? Is 3 far too late even on an active table?

Thoughts appreciated.
