Feels like I hit a brick wall last few days, MY game seems solid until we get right around bubble time so, on 6 man tables 4th to finish and on 10 man tables 5th to finish. Looking for thoughts on pushing ranges with short stacks yet to act..I know I should play tighter against the big stack being he's willing to look my all in up more often prime example lately I wake up with a suited a 10 or a j or a mid range pair with 2 shorter stacks to act yet I am the middle stack should I push in on them or just let it go.

Yes the bubble is a very hard position to play, i feel that the majority of players tense up and start playing fewer hands. The key is to have a good table image built and realize when you can steal the blinds. Also having taken notes on your opponents you will know which ones arent afraid to throw the chips in with a weak hand by this point

Boom box has pretty much said almost everything I was about to say. Another import tip in tournament play is to re steal the blinds. I strongly suggest watching some videos on re stealing. Learning to how to re steal the blinds affectively can work wonders for anyone's sit n go game, and tournament poker game in general. And when it comes to sit n go struggles. I can definitely relate. My bankroll got busted earlier tonight in count of unsuccessful sit&go outcome. I did everything right and ended up losing to a two outer. Lol. I have decided to sware off online poker and stick to live games only.

Everybody knows about the pressure of the bubble. Usually loose players start to play even more loose. A tight even more tightly. Use it.

If you can avoid the big stack then do it. It's harder sometimes to make it into the money from middle position because if you wait then you get blinded out. If you shove in the wrong moment then you can double-up a short stack or get taken out by the chip captain. A10 and AJ are very playable hands but just be careful.
