Re: bubble push/fold
 

If I'm reading right, you're the button and the big stack has already folded? If that's the case, I might push, if you're pushing into the other shorties, you might get the first to fold, hoping the other calls, and it would be hard for the BB to call, since there's still a shorter stack then him out there.

But, IMO, it changes if you're pushing into the big stack.

you were reading right, and that was my rationale for pushing...bb had ak

It's not a bad push, but probably slightly borderline. Depends on reads, as so often is the case.
