It seems like I'm always folding my way to level 3 lately and finding myself as one of the shorter stacks and then something like the hand below happens. I have a couple questions: On a smaller scale, I played this hand correctly, right? But on a larger scale, do you guys often find yourself in a position when you have around 600 chips when the blinds are about to move to level 4?
All too often I end up having to push marginal hands before it really gets to the bubble. That's just the nature of the beast, right? Trying to steal 50 chip blinds is wrong, isn't it?
