    Default My bubble strategy for super turbos

    Well obviously it's simply making the "best" decision according to ICM. But I just wanted to list the questions I ask myself when deciding the best decision to take.

    WHEN DECIDING TO PUSH
    1) How desparately do I need to blinds? How big are the blinds compared to my chip stack? How big is my stack compared to everyone else's?
    2) What is my hand strength?
    3) What will my opponent(s) call me with? (do they know about tight calling on the bubble or will they call me loose? What pot odds will they get on the call?)
    4) Will I be able to find a better situation?
    These are basically the questions I ask myself to determine to open push/fold. Please suggest more (I definitely need improvement).

    WHETHER TO CALL A PUSH
    1) What are my pot odds?
    2) What is my Hand strength?
    3) What is my opponents hand range? (Are they familar with ICM or are they pushing based only on hand strength?)
    4) If I call and lose, what are my chances of cashing?; if I fold what are my chacnes of cashing?
    4) Will I be able to find a better situation?
    Anyway this is by no means complete. please help me to improve. At the moment I get around 80% in SnG wiz Quizzes (4/5 man, random difficulty, less than 10BB) I've played near 1k super turbos and averaged 10% ROI at the $3.5+.3 limit. I've had collers every time I tried the $7+.5 (or I'm not good enough) so my ROI is terrible there atm. Thnks

    All of what you write seems to make sense. The one thing I would say is that you can expand this to beyond just bubble situations since in super turbos you start of with 10x BB so you're basically in push/fold mode from the very start.

    10% ROI is pretty good at the super turbos, because higher ROI is generally achieved in deeper stacked situations (but you trade off against lower hourly rate).
