5 4ths Out of 8 SNGs = OUCH

[Myst]

Ok, I just had 5 bubble finishes out of my last set and, needless to say, Im really ticked off (At least I got a 3rd and 2nd to alleviate the pain.) Please evaluate the situations I got myself all in, and judge whether I made the right move or not. For argument's sake, assume typical opposition (as I am a multitabler, I cant make precise reads).

There is a requirement that when you make a post like this and include some hands that someone find something wrong with your hands. After that argument ensues and it becomes a much longer strategy thread than the average hand post.

Hand #4

I don't push here. You are counting on some very tight opponents in that situation for it to be worth it.

[Patriarch]

Ouch? OUCH?!
I went 16 OOTM two days ago. I've dropped 33 buy-ins in 120 SnGs in the last five days. Don't ouch me.
Rant over.

[GoldenHorde]

Everything but #4 is an autopush and not even close.

I would need some sort of read on the big stack to be pushing any 2 into him with what I assume is an aggressive image.

Jeez, you dont have to be so bitter. Ive had downswings like that too before, and Im not trying to supercede your pain by making a post like this. To not money in 5 SNGs on the bubble, for any SNG player is painful. Hence, the ouch. Perhaps not as painful as a 33 buyin downswing, but painful nonetheless.

Whoopteeedooooo.

[Newt_Buggs]

why wouldn't you just fold hand 4 and push any two next hand? You get a better hand and the added bonus that you're stealing from the other shorty.

[Karak567]

This happens to everyone all the time.

[Jay36489]

Hands 1 & 5 you get it in with the best hand. What more can you do? I agree 4 is a little over the top.
