It's hard to clarify what mistakes your making on the basis of your post. A 15bb - 20bb stack isn't normally going to be an open shove in a sng. Your still in steal/raise for value territory with this stack your probably not missing many spots by not shoving.
You should never allow yourself to be blinded out even if you have to shove absolute rags with a short stack. What is a 'better spot' exactly on the bubble of a sng? You can't pass up on a +ev spot on the basis that a more +ev spot will present itself. You either have the hand to shove or you don't.
Around 2500 is this years sample. I don't push with 15/20bb but I do 3bet push to medium stack villains. I tend to do it with 15 or less, or with 15/18 when there is a new blind level in a minute. Maybe I should OR more and be more agressive post flop when I don't hit.
That's right, I think my problem is leting myself blinded out. Here are some examples for what I mean by that.
- I am in UTG with 15bb, next blind level is in 6 minutes. I get dealt A5s/44/KTs wich are a push acording to charts. On these moments I feel like I prefer to wait for next hand in BB or just push any two in SB than Shot A5s to the whole table. I understand there is FE and is good with 15bb but where I play I get calls all the time with better Ax and end up pushing with a Nude 5, 9, T. Isn't realy and in general better to 3b push next hand to BTN/CO or to BB in SB with any two? (then I get hands like Q7s/78s/22 and I don't push them, wich is other problem, I'm a scared rat)
- I am in CO with 12bb, next blind level is in 14 min. I get dealt A2o. Villain in SB is 15bb reg LAG. Villain in BB is 58bb maniac who will call wide. The thing I take in mind in this spot (and must be the problem) is that in 14 minutes I would surely get a better spot. Also maniac will call with any Ax and PP. Lag guy in SB knows the maniac and me and can overpush and get great odds with like any decent hand.
There are moments where I don't care and do it anyway. I lose some games earlyer but in general I think I win more money. Then, I get close to geting my bankroll to the next level (need 600 for $3 sngs) and start being a coward and play bubbles like FTs.
