Bubble play 101

Big stack is not too aggro. Probably has Ax/pp/broadways and maybe some random junk a small % of the time. Does that range seem reasonable? My image should be fine since I got JJ in PF last hand and lost to the SBs AQ.

given stack sizes and reads this is a pretty standard push

Cool. What if I have 2400 and he has 4200, and we have AQo. I was thinking that that would become a fold?

If u have 2400 I think you have enough chips to call and see a flop, c/f if you miss

You have FE on that, imo depends on reads but Im pushing that most of the time at the low limits, if I know button is raising very tight Id probably fold, calling is gross though.

Original hand shove easily. Maybe stop n go against some people.

I like this line a lot.

orginal hand is a push. we are SS on bubble so we can take what would appear to be a slight -EV push. plus he will fold a small percentage of the time.

here its better because we have more FE. i actually like this push better just because we arent showing down as much.

for a cash game player you are surprisingly (correctly) tight on a sng bubble isura. whats the beef?
