Sometimes I play very tight and passive, sometimes I just spewy it! lol
Well, in fact I didn't know this was very bad.

I've analysed this hand in SnGWiz and with reasonable calling ranges based on the small sample size stats of opponents, this is a clear fold.

I've shoved here because I have an Ace blocker and avoiding get hit by blinds next hand I would be in position to put pressure on the bubble. Generally this guys have more tight calling ranges at bubble.

But, looking this hand know, I don't think is a good idea, and I would fold here. So, for next similar spots, how to play?

If opponents are tight on the blinds I prefer raise/folding and against loose players we should fold because of their wide calling ranges if we push.

Plus if they are loose, they'll be involved in a lot of pots and have a good chance of knocking out.

Furthermore we should push tighter than what nash recommends because our opponents aren't calling according to that too.

Hello all,

If opponents are tight on the blinds I prefer raise/folding and against loose players we should fold because of their wide calling ranges if we push. Plus if they are loose, they'll be involved in a lot of pots and have a good chance of knocking out. Furthermore we should push tighter than what nash recommends because our opponents aren't calling according to that too.

If they are tight I would just shove for this stacks. We are too short. If someone flats us its going to be very nasty post flop. We should be sure that they resteal very rarely and don't flat so we can raise.
The other things about looser players +1.
