Bubble play w/ close stack sizes....

[MAX]

Is this push standard UTG with these stack sizes?

These guys were a little tight and I had played a fairly tight game myself up to this point. (I don't think I'm getting called by K high here)

Looks good.

Yep, entirely standard play. You're down to an M of less than 4 (or less than 6 big blinds if you don't like M) so you're pushing here with almost any ace, and A8o is definitely strong enough in the circumstances. You were just very unlucky to run into AA here.

You should be pushing a lot of hands there.
