$22 bubble trouble
 

Was i correct to push here? BB was chip leader but was very passive. I had started to push a few hands but not a pushbot.

Can anyone fold here?

I'd normally push here as well, but lately I've been reading that you don't want to push into the bigstack while you are on the bubble unless you have a very good hand.

I'd really like to hear what the more experienced 2+2ers have to say as well.

I haven't been around very much over the past month or so, but I would imagine they are talking about pushing into the big stack with fewer chips than in this situation, but I could be wrong.

As far as the hand. I read a long time ago a post (not on two + two) about pushing any two out of the SB. After reading many replies on it..........much more math than I am going to put here. The push range on k/x was k/8o or k/3s. Funny thing here is seems like I when I do those two I get called, hehe. Probably just because I remember it so much. Either way I push here as well.

What did the guy wake up with? My guess is top 4pp or a/k. Ya said he was passive so that is my guess on his hand.

He had a,q. But i am still unsure if i should have folded here, given i can bully the other stacks. I would usually push this all day unless the guy was loose, but maybe this is not such a great move.

just bad timing bro, happens to all of us. Going to be harder to bully the other stacks when your going to be oop against them. PF that is. And with these blinds most of the plays are going to be PF.

You have 6BB left and the first two players have folded to you. I push here with K8o approximately 100% of the time. You still have tons of fold equity against the big stack.

Yes I have thoughts. You played the bad hand but you tried the steal but it did not work. I think maybe you should wait for better hand like JJ or even 1010 but even then I sometimes lose to the ace.

C'mon man! We're not going to make it at the $33s together with that kind of attitude!

PUSH!!

Push, and it's not close. If you want to save yourself the time of posting this type of question, do yourself a big favor and buy Eastbay's SnG Power Tools.
