Button-You have t2100.
BB (t3100)
SB (t1500)

BB has a semi-loose range. Sb in tight reg.

Are you shoving A3s+,A5o+,K8s+,K9o+,22+,QTs+,small suited connectors...100% of the time?

Not really a good example, you have great equity when you fold there since SB is a reg and will push wide and get called often. I would push something like {33+,A7o+,A2s+,KQo,KJs+} or {22+,A7o+,A2s+,KJo,K9s+,QJ,QTs,JTs,T9s}, "semi-loose" is a pretty vague read when you are 3-handed.

The antes are more significant in 5-7 handed situations and I think it is those spots where it's easy to miss pushes. There's not much point giving an example since all this stuff can just be solved with accurate ranges and ICM. Just play around with some ICM software and see how antes should effect your ranges.

I was missing pushes 5-7 handed at one time, and as a result bubbled more and finished 1st less. If you're missing pushes before the bubble you are not the big stack on the bubble as often as you should be, and the short stack on the bubble more often than you should be.

It could be that, it could be something different, and it could just be variance over a small sample size. Never hurts to look into it.
