Re: Bad bubble push?
Yuck. The 1st pure +EV push in this spot is AKo. By this, I mean that there is no calling strategy that the other players can use to make pushing -EV. You have to make money by pushing AKo in this spot.
AQo is a calculated push altough you can lose if everyone selects a certain calling strategy (22+/AQ+ for example). The nice thing is that if people deviate from playing perfectly, you can turn a -EV push into a +EV push (why I say that it is calculated). If everyone turned their hands face up, it would clearly be wrong, but it is correct face down since people will not play optimally.
A9o is total garbage in this spot. People can actually play quite poorly and you still can't come out ahead. If everyone calls with 77+/AJ+ it is a big mistake to move in. You pretty much need everyone to call super tight here to make this push. Calling standards of 99+/AQ+ are borderline.
