Pushing hands at the bubble
 

I think this thread could become a nice reference for beginning STT players (like me) for bubble play.

4 players left at a $10+1 PP STT, Hero has 13-5BB. What are your hand requirements for pushing:

1. When you're first to act.

2. UTG folds, Hero...

3. Folded to Hero in the SB.

4. Hero is in the BB and there's one limper.

well it also matters how big the blinds are. What level are you talking about?

I think u need to feel the table, stack sizes are so important as well, and not only ure stack size but everybody else. These are my top factors( in some kinda order):
Bonus track) If Im running good I tend to be more agrresive than if Im running bad( Im the leakiest player ever)
1) My cards.
2) My stack.( stack is chips in relation to the blinds and actual chips.)
3) Other ppl stack.
4) Position of stacks.
5) Previous betting action on the hand.
6) Personalities.( or previous betting action in all the sng)
7) Image I have.( If Ive been caught stealing with T4 I tend to tight up)

As usual, you are looking at your cards, and not the game. Think! There's more here to consider than just cards.

Your cards are probably the least important part of the equation at this point unless you have the two monsters that you are going to play, you just need to decide HOW to play.
