Re: Bubble push with AQ
 

my confusion relates to "with 4 players left play even tighter" kind of stuff.

now that i consider the blinds though, yeah you're right.

Re: Bubble push with AQ
 

so say the situation is switched, he pushes in SB, and i'm in BB. given my stack is even less now, and the blind structure, do i call?

Re: Bubble push with AQ
 

With AQo? Absolutely. With KJs? It depends.

Re: Bubble push with AQ
 

alright.. yeah i guess i'm just confused overall for hand selections when short stacked and close to the bubble, or even ITM.

Well, don't go blanket calling with AQo. I mean if you had the 2k stack or whatever, and the 3k stack pushed, and the other two were on 800, and the blinds were 150/300, you should probably generally fold. But when you are the shortest or 2nd shortest stack, and facing a push from the 2nd shortest or shortest, AQo is virtually a mandatory call. But KJs, you are likely to be behind and he would need to be pushing a large range; however if the blinds are sufficiently high, and you think your chances are better to take this chance as a dog than get chips from the 2k and 3k stacks, then a call is perfectly ok.

right.. also when my stack is low enough, basically i push with just about anything if not doing so will have me blinded out, say in the next orbit?

Well no not quite, but not far off, I suppose.
