all in all 3

2 would be closer in a regular tourney I think, so tempting in rush to try ep steals.

1 and 3 definitely get it in

2 is really tough. I probably fold 99 and shove TT. Play does get tighter near the bubble in these, which means UTG might be opening less than normal. Your also not in bad shape even with 10BB because people will make so many bad folds vs you, so even if you fold here you have plenty of good spots later

[fulksy]

must be a leak but i'm only shoving JJ, AK in hand 2, what range are you giving a taggish player UTG near the bubble? my range for him would be 99+ AQ+. even if you made it wider like 77+ AJs+ AQ+ he's proabably folding 77-88/ and AJs to your shove. calling with everything else.

[baudib]

you get a shitttttton of folds minraising UTG in Rush after the first few levels.

Hand 1 I folded, I figured shorty had me crushed and I couldn't be dominating the bigger stack enough to make up for it. In hindsight it makes sense to take an edge like this so early in the tournament.

Hand 2 I shoved and busted and beat myself up for it. It seemed like a really thin spot for so close to the bubble. In the future I fold here without reads.

Hand 3 I thought about for a while, and I think after timing down a noticeable amount I should have folded. The actual hand ended up with everyone AI preflop and like pocket 3s won.

I would push everytime... just my opinion tho-.
