Okay- another thread specifically on bubbles They sure are confusing.
Earlier today I managed to win a satellite to the Sunday million from a $1.45 investment in a regular speed satellite that gave four tickets to the event, which is great. However, it occurred to me that I didn't really know how I should be playing with my short/ medium stack on the bubble. I managed to get it in behind J10 vs AJ one time, and I felt at some points like I was shoving too infrequently and bleeding chips, but honestly I'm not sure.
So, I assume I should be shoving far more in general with a short or medium stack and folding far more to shoves because gaining chips will give me less EV than losing chips would. I presume that I should be shoving a lot into medium stacks who need to fold more to my shoves, and I also assume that I should be changing my shoving ranges a lot based on the players I am up against because if the player is not adapting to the bubble and they are calling too wide then I would need to shove less. Also, I guess that with a big stack I should actually be tighter because I can fold to the money and there is no reason for me to risk my chips, especially against fishy opponents who call far too wide. However, as I say, all of the stuff I've said there is based on guesswork and a vague knowledge of normal STT bubbles, but I'm not sure if any of what I said makes any sense
Does anyone have any tips or pointers as to how I should be playing in these sorts of spots? Am I thinking in the right way (at all)?
Thanks!
