Late in a sit n go - short to medium stacked

Late in a sit and go, your short or medium stacked. You are delt 55 - 88. Do you push?

Ive pushed with this snerio in the last 5 sit n go's ive played, and been called with two over cards, and they have won each time.

The odds should be about 50/50, but it seems like, and ive played 100's of sit and go'o, that 90% of the time the over cards win.

Theoretically with such a large sample size it should be more 50/50, and I just got burned 5 times in a row by this, so I am not really sure whats up. Should I fold a poket pair late when the blinds are almost 1/4 to 1/2 my stack, or should I always push.

if the blinds are 1/4 to 1/2 your stack always push. i'm pushing almost any two in late position with those blinds

Well I play turbos so the blinds get to 400 and 600 very fast. Usually if Im short stacked I have under 2000 chips.

But the reason I say this is because its near the bubble, which makes me want to play more tight.

i) That's wrong, you loosen up on bubble.
ii) A few hundred is not a large sample size, a few thousand is.
iii) You're getting varianced, just keep pushing those.
iv) Of course there are always spots where they are folds, but generally push.

k, thought thats what Id get here. Guess im just on a bad run.

It just sucks when your bubble boy 3-4 times in a row.

we've all had that happen to us, that's poker /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
