I’m at the start of a journey, which will hopefully end up with me becoming a perfect pushbotter. Not the highest form of intelligence in the universe I know, but it will do nicely for me.
I started reviewing all my old games for +EV from 5 players on. I have seen the light!
I’m trying to master the skills of putting opponents on calling ranges and spotting +EV while I play 2 games at once (I’m also searching for and reading the many useful 2+2 threads between plays), then I review both games and check my potential and actual push/folds.
So tonight after only 50 $33 games into this journey, I’m on the bubble and SB, it's folded to me and I push the short stack BB all in with my A3s, they call with JJ.
And within 1 second someone had typed, “It works every time but the last”. I was actually reading this quote from citanul at the time;
”The #1 response we all get from pushbotting is:
"It works every time but once."
I am not joking, I would pay $500 if I never had to read that again in a SNG. I ususally don't reply, but if I do I write, "ok gl." “

Anyway I hit a flush, but was more pleased with the comment than getting ITM with the big stack. Luckily I won that SNG and wrote this post.
So a quick question is do you find you lose credibility if you get called by a better hand a couple of times, in the late stages? I find loads of possible pushes but hold back as don’t want to appear like a maniac.
