bubble push 55 mtt
 

63 left top 60 pay. Is it correct that i should be playing for first not worrying about getting 60th or is this a negative ev move. I am pushing from CO. I hadnt pushed in at least 10 hands.

Good push.

I push with much worse from CO when I have < 4xBB.

E.g For me any pair, Ax, Kx, >Q9s, suited connectors. I like playing for 1st.

Without seeing how many other severely short stacks were left, I'm guessing you probably still could have squeezed into the money. The bottom line, though, is only you can decide whether it's more important to do that, or to keep trying to accumulate chips. That said, K6 is a good push from the CO. You're ahead of their 3 random hands, and even a better king may not be risking 1/4-1/3 of his remaining stack so close to the bubble.
