Hyper SNG
Bubble
All stacks relatively equal
Folded to me in the SB

I don't know if I'm being results oriented here, but I seem to be getting eaten alive when pushing any ace in this spot. Seems like I'm only getting called by better aces or hands that crush me. Then i saw this when running nash calculator...

Stacks = 1000
Blinds = 60/120

79.2%, 22+ Kx+ Q2s+ Q3o+ J2s+ J4o+ T2s+ T6o+ 92s+ 95o+ 82s+ 85o+ 72s+ 75o+ 62s+ 64o+ 52s+ 54o 42s+ 32s

I don't see Ax(s) listed. I always assumed it was implied? Or am i missing something completely with the way the blinds might correlate to this? Or am i just shell shocked from running bad and completely second guessing myself?

In the HoldemResources notation, Ax+ are included into Kx+. Similarly, a range of all hands but 32o would be written there as 22+ 4x+ 32s. I.e. whenever all the unpaired hands with a certain high card are in a range, this implies that all the unpaired hands containing any higher card are in the range too, unless stated otherwise.

The positive EV of the push with a weak hand comes from the 1.5 bb pot that you'll steal in the vast majority of cases when BB folds, which outweighs the losses from those rare cases when BB is dealt a premium hand. BB's hand will be almost always ahead of yours when BB does call, but the fold equity is too big to forego it. The bigger the blind amount, the more valuable the initial pot is in comparison with the values of the stacks, so yes, if we assume that the stacks remain the same, the pushing ranges are a bit wider for bigger blind amounts (despite the calling ranges becoming a lot wider due to the better pot odds).
