Default Re: How to play the bubble (or not to play the bubble)

Just about the folding ICM here.

Fold -> SB folds: .314
Fold -> SB pushes -> BB folds: .316
Fold -> SB pushes -> BB calls -> SB wins: .350
Fold -> SB pushes -> BB calls -> BB wins: .338
Fold -> SB completes -> BB pushes -> SB folds: .315

Those aren't all the possibilities obviously, but I think they are the most common, plus raises that aren't pushes will often end up all-in anyway.

I don't really have any strong basis for weighting these outcomes, but here's a SWAG:

.314 x .6 + .316 x .18 + .350 x .06 + .338 x .06 + .315 x .1 = .318

Not a huge difference, but using your calcs it then changes the percentage of times SB and BB need to fold from 74.5% to 77.6%.
