    Default Horrible Bubble play push?

    I prob should have known better to push in this spot. But the Big stack was not being very aggressive with his stack and figured I could pick up blinds and separate myself more from the small stack.

    BB (t1020)
    UTG (t1715)
    Hero (t1395)
    SB (t9370)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
    1 fold, Hero raises to t1395, SB calls t1295, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t2990) , , (2 players)

    Turn: (t2990) (2 players)

    River: (t2990) (2 players)

    Final Pot: t2990

    SNGWiz says its a fold.

    You should be pushing: 55+, A9o+, A8s+, KQs

    Damn. Even when I set both players to "tight" it still says fold.

    But the range of pushing went down to:
    33++, A5+, A2s+, KJ+, KTs+, QJs

    Both blinds' calling ranges aren't going to be tight, though, well maybe the BB though he should be pushing ATC.

    I just think you can find a better spot. Like the next hand, where you're in the CO.

    You're in a bad spot either way. If you fold BB might chip up, if you push you risk getting called by SB with atc.

    If your read on him is correct then pushing is the right play.

    Well I ended up Bubbling here as the SB called me down with JJ (Didn't want to post this before since I thought it might skew opinions). Can't really say one way or another if my read was good since anyone prob calls me down here with fishhooks.

    Auto one small thing about the stack sizes.

    Always look at the guy to your immediate left. You never want this guy to have so many chips. It's worth taking a risk earlier to avoid this.

    See what happens if you switch BB and SB? Now your situation is a lot better and it's an easy fold.
