How to play the bubble before FT How to play the bubble before FT

I've had a few problems today I seem to go all in when I'm either 9th place out of 10th or big stack putting the little stacks under pressure, what sort of cards should I be doing this with.

There was a hand I recall when I had A7S and I had notes on the player in question. I raised 3 x and the guy shoved with pocked Kings, now my ace hits on the river ( Me being good at flips ) but the guy said that was a terrible call! when I had say more chips than him and had reads, but what do you think was it the right call? Someone said on here you have to play nasty sometimes to win ( Which I did ).

Firstly A7 Vs KK is not a flip! And your call completely depends on reads. If you are both stacked deep and he is running 8/5 then it's terrible. If he is short and you have massive stack and he's running 76/39 it's an easy call!

All depends on stats. Also final table bubble? What touring is this where 9 get paid? If its a 180man, don't care about final table bubble... Care when you get to final 4!

Ok sorry for saying A7S vs KK was a flip. it was a 9 get paid tourny.

All depends on the situation, u need to post hands on particular FT bubble spots for us to be able to provide of any sort of feedback.

It depends a lot on the stacks but A7s its a hand i would rather push than r/c, its one of those hands that its too weak too r/c but at the same time its too strong to r/f.

What type of note? re-steals a lot? fold a lot to a let pos steal?

Quote:
I raised 3 x
Opening 3x at that stage of the SNG its just wrong, you´re on many ocassions priced in to call most shoves and basically you´re getting action from the same ranges if you open 2x but investing less chips.

Quote:
and the guy shoved with pocked Kings
Just because you got coolered doesnt mean you played it wrong, think you´re been too much result oriented.

A7s vs KK its not a flip, its a 2:1 underdog situation but hey, many people say 2:1 spots are the new flips so, hahaha

Quote:
but the guy said that was a terrible call!
need a little more information about stacks sizes, table size (was it shorthanded, 6max, FR?) and the blind level but overall, when that deep and opening 3x you´re pretty often commiting yourself to call.

when I had say more chips than him and had reads,
Having more chips than the villain its not enough to make a light call that deep, you´re just spewing chips. And what type of note you had on villain? stack sizes? blind level? table size? positions?
