Default I think I figured out whats wrong with my SNG play now

I think that I am playing too tight when I get on the bubble and I feel like now I should be more go get em. What types of hands would you raise with on the bubble? Also, what hands are you limping with and how often are you stealing blinds and what types of hands do you want to steal with? Thanks

This question alone proves that you have no clue what you are doing.

This question gives support to the claim that you have no clue what you are doing.

This question further justifies the claim that you have no clue what you are doing.

All of them. Bubble aggression is more of a function of your opponent's stacks and your position than your cards.

None of them.

right here- im about to blow your mind-

stack sizes matter ten times as much as your cards.

understand this and implement it and you will do well.

Steal constantly. What hands do you WANT to steal with? AA and KK. What hands will you still with? Any two. Its much much much more about position and stack sizes than it is about what you have.

Early tourney these are the values:

75% Your hand
15% Your position
10% Stack sizes

Middle tourney

65% Your hand
25% Your position
10% Stack sizes

Late tourney
40% Your hand
30% Your position
30% Stack sizes

Bubble
20% Your hand
40% Your position
40% Stack sizes

ITM/HU
15% Your hand
60% Your position
25% Stack sizes

Z.A. is clearly bitchy today. A more helpful answer would be:

"What type of situations should i be raising on the bubble?"

The answer isn't all that clearcut, but you should garner bits and pieces from all the bubble hands posted here. Find some posters who you think really know whats what, and see what kind of answers they are giving to all the bubble hands.

The best i can offer for generality is that you should be raising/pushing in situations where it is not likely you will be called unless the target wakes up with a real big hand. Of greatest importance are stack sizes and blind levels. Nobody wants 4th.

Remember, its not so much the cards you have. Any dogsh*t ought to win 20-30% of the time. Where you really can stretch your legs is seeing situations where they guy will need a monster to call. Good but not greats hands usually fold to the agression when the holder does not relish a confrentation.

And limping is never good news in the later going.

Zebra, I do know what I am doing jerk off. I thank the rest of you for your input. Secondly, I was trying to get an idea from some of the people here on what they use as a standard. You come here to get better but I guess people like you make that hard and this further proves your a douche bag!
