    Default Bubble play 45man - Do you push this?

    I'm on the bubble in a 5table in the SB. BB is a calling station with a huge stack, so do you still make this push?

    You have the shortest stack at the table with an M of 2.5. This is absolutely, positively a required shove. You need chips bad if you want to have any chance at winning decent money here.

    Yep, you gotta do it. Sucks to be shoving into the big stack, but you have an above average hand and you're super short.

    Pushing is def unexploitable here, especially with antes. He would have to be a particularly appaling station for me to not shove close to ATC here.
