Fold and hope for short stack to bust, or shove and pray?

Shove. You have a very strong hand 4 handed and CO is not short enough where you can afford to wait. Especially since the blinds hit you before they hit him.

If you are considering folding here, it's probably a large part of why you are "good at getting 4th place".

Easy shove, CO isn't anywhere near short enough & you will get plenty of folds, not to mention your hand is super strong anyways.

Well my bubble strategy in general needs an overhaul, perhaps I have just been running bad, but I am coming in 4th a whole lot lately.

WHY did yo ucome in 4th a whole lot lately? Is it because lots of people don't like to fold and call you with coinflip hands, or you run into monsters alot?

Can I wager a guess OP that your ROI is ultra low? You should always try to play for 1st not for 3rd.

I am winning, but my ROI is low. I also suck at coin flips.

A graph of my suck

To be frank, I am not sure where to start.

I am going to a driving range now, I will be back on later tonight, thank you for all the help thus far.

yuck, and i thought my finish distribution was ugly.

OP, it looks as if you're tightening up too much around the bubble and 5 handed and just trying to slip into the money. I'd imagine you're missing quite a few pushes at this stage in the game.

If you folded here, you have a lot to improve on, so don't worry about your results. Get better & the results will come.
