[ QUOTE ] You keep waiting and you usually end up having to push something not much better than 3 4 when you won't have nearly enogh chips to induce a fold by the other player. [/ QUOTE ] Good point here

Re: Is this bubble push idiotic?
You've (probably) got two live, suited cards, which is ideal for the situation. And connected to boot. If he calls, he calls. It's the same to you either way... a fold you pick up a blind, a call and you're probably on the small end of a 60-40 shot at 2nd place in chips. Versus AKo, you're 40.3 to 59.7. Take the gamble here and you'll be playing for the big payout for 1st in a few orbits.
It's a better situation for you than if you fold, then hand after next find yourself UTG w A3o and have to go all in against all three guys, only to find one calls you with A8... you'd be on the bad end of 34-66 there. He's got a nice stack and you should be eyeing it hungrily when you have the opportunity. Being first to act out of the SB is rare enough, might as well apply pressure while you can.

Personally I'd wait for a decent high card before pushing when the bottom 3 stacks are so close. Yeah the blinds are going to get you soon, but the same goes for the others and right here I'd like to see someone else make the move. I may be a little tight but small suited connectors don't win many pots when they get called. [/ QUOTE ] In this situation you'll be the first one blinded out (if everyone waits), so you'll have to act. If you fold next orbit you'll have ~500 chips, no FE and doubling up won't help much. Pushing with any two in this spot is probably the best thing I've learned so far reading this forum.
