9 Seater sit n go's ($22):

After bubbling in far too many sit n go's recently I went for a walk (and swore quite alot) and am thinking that, although lady-luck has not been on my side, I'm going to have to improve my bubble play. I know you have to be very aggressive and not just blind away hoping to get 3rd but just how aggressive is this? I've read HOHII (gonna re-read it though) and do fine in the early stages, middle stages and heads up but must be doing something wrong around the bubble.

How do you approach middle suited connectors 4 handed?
How do you approach low kings, queens and jacks (K/Q/J2-6)?
If you put in a raise and it gets pushed, what should your calling range be (assuming pretty much equal stacks, M's are <10 and the table is struggling to see a flop)?

Also am I right in thinking a good tournament player (9 seaters anyway) will have alot more 4th place finishes than 3rd's?

lot more 4ths and 1sts

also u should never call ur chips away, why raise when ur on the bubble, if ur gonna raise just shove the shit and let math odds play its roll, push fold for me 6 handed till the bubble, i never play anything out of position and a9o + on the button i shove
