Default $109s: Curtains hand, J8o with 5bb\'s on the button.

I think that one of my biggest leaks is letting myself get blinded-off at 200/400 and above. One of the reasons, I think, is missing pushes on the button with so-so hands when I'm in the 4-6bb range. Obv it's much easier to pull the trigger in the sb but shouldn't we push this?

Wow I'm so tight. I wonder who the blinds were? It's +.3% against the following ranges:

22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs

The SB should be looser than this, the BB MIGHT be tighter, but might not.

In any case I used to always push here and then calmed down a bit. I might have become slightly too tight on the bubble/5 handed. This is PROBABLY a slight +ev push, but shouldn't be anything very major.

SNGPT shows -0.0% with both players on maniac but is that the ranges I should use? No specific reads on the opponents. I feel like I'm sfweak in situations like this.

You probably have different maniac setting than I do. Anyway on the bubble, when people make serious mistakes themselves, mistakes that can cost them huge amounts and earn you lots, it sometimes pays to be on the slightly cautious side. Thats my opinion at least.

Ok, that makes sense. The blinds where "lumpster333" (sb) and "f2666" (bb). I'm using the default maniac-range of 22+,A2+,K9s+,KTo+,QJs.

edit: oops It wasn't default settings, I added a couple of hands I think.

Yuor maniac range is slightly looser than mine. But still quite reasonable. I think BB will often fold K9s but who knows....they might call with QTs, JTs....I think that in general SB will be looser than your range and BB will be slightly tighter.

You don't have the newest party cheat? Aimed to curb winning players at the table?

But seriously, he bought some HHs off of curtains.
