22 with dwindling stack ($20k rebuy)

Can I push this? I didn't think so which is why I folded, but am I wrong? Does whether or not we're on the ITM bubble make a difference?

Nah i like your fold in general. On an average table this is a good fold, though there are some tables that are just so easily abused that this is a very good push and i go allin every time. Being on the bubble or deep itm near the ft can provide for table conditions that are like this more often, but it really depends on how the table is, and what your image is like.

The other strategy you can use is type in "i'm a hawt gurl" and then go allin. This will either get everyone to fold, or get you called by 33.

so basically, prolly a good fold.

Alot depends on your image and the reads you have on the players left to act. Likely pushing is a +ev in the end. As far as the bubble goes in a 3.30 it just doesn't seem worth it to me to try and just make it ITM. Going deep in the tourneys is where the payoff is. I can make more money in 50 minutes playing a 3.30 turbo 10 person SNG then I will in a 3.30 MTT finishing 19th or above. Go for the FT, don't worry about ITM for these lower buyin tourneys.

overplaying my small pocket pairs is still one of my biggest leaks.... but I still push there.

You will steal the blinds at least 50% of the time which is fine here. You also need to double up so if you get called by a hand like AJ that's fine. Hands like 33-88 will have a tough choice in calling you, and if you run into 99-AA than you can yell at me.

I like the fold. Too many people to go throug here and you're not too bad. You just don't want to drop below 5bb. I think that it's close but, you have time.

this made me laugh, haha.

I never care about ITM in MTTs. I always think about making the FT. The exception was when I played that damned $215 ... such a bad idea :P

Too many people to go throug here and you're not too bad.

Yeah, I was thinking that if I were just a LITTLE later in position, it would be a much easier push ...

if you run into 99-AA than you can yell at me.

Nothing better than yelling at chard
