Default bubble conundrum

do i push any two here, or do i wait for the next hand in which i have a very high probability of having a better hand (and oh by the way the blinds will be higher) but at the same time have one more opponenet to overcome...for what its worth i folded and pushed 92o the next one

This is a pretty easy fold to me. I'd rather take my chances in the BB than push with this trash, esp with the big stack sitting in the blind.

Even after they go up you will have 900 chips if you fold both blinds, so you still have some fold equity against the other shortstacks. You have time to wait for something better than total crap, and maybe one of the other stacks will jump first.

Fold this....

You need to feel comfortable playing the blinds when they're high...*you* are the one with an overlay on the next hand, not your opponents.

i do feel comfortable, just everynow and then i get anxious with a short stack (especially when i am busted out of 2 tables and really low at another). on a seperate note, my overlay is not as big as it should be with all of the garbage i have seen people calling with as of late.

This is a pretty telling statement. Given this information, what on earth would make you think of pushing 73o?
