All are 9max reg top three pay 45 each .
4 handed on bubble
Blinds 300/150
Co.3630 folds
Bt.4176 raises to 600 loose player plays a decent amount of hands.
Sb2830 folds
Hero Bb. 2864 with AQo
I decided to take the safe route and flat flops comes
5dQd4h he bets 900 I jam he has 10d/8d and turns the flush. I feel like this was a mistake preflop I should have jammed especially against him or is the flat pre OK?
8players Blinds 30/15
Hero Utg 1390 with QQ I raise to 90
Utg+2 3 bets to 150 (4019) loose agro
Mp 486 shoves
BB flats 486 (2010) no reads
I tank I want to fold but I convince myself he could have 10s JJS or Ak and I call he turns over AA . I feel this spot is really close .
4 handed on bubble
Blinds 200/100
Utg. 2930 folds
Hero BT. 1705 with A3 off shoves
Sb.2985 folds
BB 5700 calls with A8 and I bust .
I was down to 200 chips at one point . I won a couple of hands before that . I shoved this hand purely for the chips to be closers in range to the sb and Co .
Also what are these min three bets let's say I open to 2x and someone re raises to 3.5 it kind of throws me off I end up flatting this with QQs and I only had 10bb and it was 4 ways idk why I didn't four bet .

First hand definitely a shove preflop. You have 10 BB.
Second hand, I probably fold or just call to see flop here. You probably won't get away with it though.
Third hand, kind of unlucky. I guess for a short stack its ok. I probably do the same.

1- yes, you have to shove pre. Would rather fold pre than flat and play oop with the huge icm pressure.
2- BB flat is very worrying, but think you can chalk this up to a cooler. Please note BB so you have reads he likes to trap AA!
3- I think if you run this in icm program it will say fold. I'm not really up on fgs(future game sim) which may say to shove.

Thanks for the feedback. Im starting to question my love for the game i wouldnt even call it love i like the game and the freedom it gives you but i just cant handle loosing, especially when i have a decent stack and im on the bubble i always bubble at the $15 level and im not sure why. I always get short stacked and eventually blind out and have to shove and get called by better. Im not sure what to do anymore .

These are my stats at the $15 level so far I know it's not alot but it's just a recurring situation where I continue to bubble .
14 games played
6 cashes 8 losses
Direct bubble 4 times
One away from bubble 2 times
This is really frustrating as you can see I get to the bubble often but end up losing.I really don't want to give up. I can't steal with 10bbs or less with marginal hands like J10o or QJ, and when I get short I have to shove weak Aces or I'll just blind out .

Hamd 1: Shove, you have just under 10bb and you have AQo HU against an aggro player
Hand 2: Meh, since, I have over 30BBs, and it is early, I could find a fold here.
Hand 3: Fold, A3o is too weak a hand to shove with 8.5BBs. A6o is at the bottom of my shoving range from the button with 8Bbs.
