My main problem with tournaments has always been these bubble situations.
From what I understand, bubble play is what separates the winners from the losers.

The only MTT bubble play that seperates winners from losers is stealing blinds from those that think they're playing the bubble well by being uber tight.

makes me want to watch that video on cardplayer interviewing the guy who folded pocket aces 3 times on the bubble in one of those major live tourneys...

SNGs are another story, where bubble play is everything.

There is more to good bubble play than stealing blinds. A lot of players are either somewhat scared or trying to take advantage of the bubble and steal. There are various adjustments and ways of taking advantage of both tendencies.

Yes, sorry someone woke up with a better hand. Not pushing here would be criminal.

Well, from all the replies i got here it seems that most people think I am a total idiot.
I know that it may have seemed a stupid question but surely that is what the forums are for - even to answer stupid questions.
As I said earlier - I am newish to MTTs so I want to be sure of my play.

As a final point yes, I did push and yes, I have read HOH1, HOH2 and HOH3. Still doesn't hurt to ask.

Sorry you busted out.

What other plays besides pushing did you consider here?

I don't think raising 3xBB is bad, but if I di that I would never fold this hand at any point.
