Re: Facing a Bubble Push from Short Stack
[ QUOTE ]
You should be pretty snug with your stack in this situation, you have 20 BB's.
It sounds as if your abundance of bronzes are the result of not being aggressive enough with 4-6 players left. I've had problems with this myself, and I've found that playing more aggressively in the "pre-bubble" phase improved my distribution a bunch, as well as my hourly rate, since you either bust or get to the true bubble with a stack and a shot at first.
Check for missed pushes/other spots when there are 5 and 6 players left.

I agree with this completely.
For this paticular situation however, calling when there are two larger stacks left to act is a mistake...If one of them gets frisky and goes all in behind you, you have to fold...giving up a larg portion of your stack for nothing.
Pushing over the top is an option, but I think in this situation, folding is correct. When down to 4, I need a fairly big hand to call an all-in with more players to act behind me. Pushing is my move of choice to build my stack 4-handed to not be shortstacked ITM, not calling all-ins.
