Bubbling out constantly: Please check my play

[LordVTR]

I always get to the last 3 or 4 in 6 seat SNG NL HE by playing generally tight but getting agressive when I get the cards. Often I get to the bubble as the short stack and my stack is around 8-12 BB so I try to look out for spots to push. However, I'm not totally sure if I am doing this in the right situations. Below is my last tournament in which I went out in 4th and I guess is typical of my results over the last 20-30 tourneys.

Is there anything I should change in my play earlier in the tourney so I have a larger stack for the bubble? I try to avoid playing marginal hands early on and perhaps I let a hand go too easily? Also am I playing the later stages correctly? Do I have any obvious leaks and areas I need to address?

I always get to the last 3 or 4 in 6 seat SNG NL HE by playing generally tight but getting agressive when I get the cards. Often I get to the bubble as the short stack and my stack is around 8-12 BB so I try to look out for spots to push. However, I'm not totally sure if I am doing this in the right situations. Below is my last tournament in which I went out in 4th and I guess is typical of my results over the last 20-30 tourneys.

Is there anything I should change in my play earlier in the tourney so I have a larger stack for the bubble? I try to avoid playing marginal hands early on and perhaps I let a hand go too easily? Also am I playing the later stages correctly? Do I have any obvious leaks and areas I need to address?

Unlucky at the end but the damage was done by the AQ hand. I would conserve the chips. Maybe it should have been a push, but i feel your raise was weak relative to the pot size and that it begged to be shoved over. I think you played the majority well though and we all have the odd hand we play badly. Check out my histories!!

Thanks for taking the time to comment Ginger. Feel a little better knowing that for the most part my play was ok and Im not losing because of too many poor decisions.

Hero raises [300]I don't like this. Its possibly a shove. I would call.

Point taken, because they both limped I thought my hand was probably ahead and was mistakenly tryin to get them to put more in the pot by calling my relatively small raise. On reflection I can see this is a flawed plan as a bad flop could leave me in a lot of trouble OOP.

The guy limping on QQ seems to be something that happens a lot in the games I have played in. Why do peeps do this with QQ+ ? Surely its asking for trouble letting weaker hands get to see a cheap flop?

Hand 13 (AQo) - I would shove over for sure with 3 limpers. Most times you take it down without a fight.

Because they play badly! You are absolutely right, it is a disaster to limp a big hand like AA and end up with 4 opps on the flop. Just make a note on players who do this so when they suddenly limp when blinds are large (after having raised/pushed every hand they play), play carefully.
