Default Re: Would you push here?

I think the fact that so many people think pushing is correct here is a huge problem with their sng play, no matter what limit they play. This is a pretty easy fold. The bubble is all about FE, you are not the shortest stack, so you should never push unless you think there is a high probabilty that the opponent will fold, or that there is a high probability you will be in a dominating position to win the hand. A coinflip vs. someone with more or equal chips to you when you are not the short stack is a DISASTOR. That is exactly what happend here and its what you should be expecting when you pushed. I havent run an ICM on this hand yet but my intuition says that its a bad push unless you had some decent FE which it doesnt look like you did.

Don't get me wrong, I believe you should be crazy aggresive on the bubble, but usually only when your first in. Not when your calling all in (which you basically are here).
