Default Re: Are Wreckless Bubble Pushes Like This Okay?

OP, you can actually answer this question mathematically. There are some exceptions to this of course, but almost any player can recognize that they are one away from the money, and that UTG will be out next.

So, you can rest assured that any raise will only be called by a narrow range of hands. Therefore, if you wish, you can actually raise to a lesser amount than a push, for example, just raising to 450 will also get SB to fold all but his premium hands (which I would think are QQ+, AK). You're likely only saving yourself 322 chips in this scenario, so we're prolly splitting hairs.
