View Full Version : When to push any 2 on the bubble with an overstack?

I've been getting pretty crazy on the bubble when I outstack the remaining players by enough that my intuition says push any two. This is usually in the neighborhood of 3.5:2 with the BB usually being >10% of the next biggest stack. It also requires that the remaining players are somewhat reasonable - that is to say they understand that if they call for all their chips with K high and it ends up being no good, they will be out of this tournament with $0.

I guess I am looking for the mathematical perspective on this issue. At what stack size and blind ratio does this become correct? How much does position effect this? If there is really small stacks (2-3x the BB) in the hand how does this effect things?

Keep in mind that this is at the 200+15 level so the players are generally quite reasonable.
