    Default Coinflips on bubble

    im on a 25Bi downswings at the moment,which is sad and getting on my nerves,although my bankroll is on 225BI(2.25 BI)

    should i be taking coinflips on the bubble even though we think we are ahead?
    i know there are a lot of factors involve,considering the blinds and stack sizes.cuz my huge downswings is partly me busting me out 4th place the past 15-17 tournies.

    blinds are usually high when my M is around 10,and for an example stacks are pretty even between(M=10) 3 players with one huge monster stack hanging around.

    those 4 hands were me calling an AI,and this one is me pushing.this one is questionable or is this standard?Im not sure.
    BB odds are so good-any two cards for him.

    Hand 1 (AJs) - this is is pretty close either way, I guess shoving over is OK with your read but I wouldn't expect it to be very +EV.

    Hand 2 (QQ) - fist pump call

    Hand 3 (A6s) - read dependent, he needs to be raising at least 21-22% of hands to make this a good shove

    Hand 4 (A9s) - snap call, I never fold this

    Hand 5 (88) - shove is super standard

    hand 1 - It's not close because you don't have FE here. It's a big fold even if he's raising 25% of hands. Also fold if he's raising 25% and calling with 18%..

    hand 2 - EZ call

    hand 3 - same with hand 1.. even worse.. you're almost calling a push as he's never folding.. ez fold..

    hand 4 - call

    hand 5 - ez shove
    don't listen to a thing I say.. I can't beat 6.50s..

    1. Fine
    2. Easy call
    3. I fold this, you have 0 fold equity and you are either behind or 60/40
    4. I call; BTW hand 3 and 4 are totally different, hand 3 UTG raised and in this one the SB raised, and A9 is much better then 16

    I'm confused here you guys say this A9s above is an easy shove right?

    But then on my hand below I was told was an easy fold for the DON. What's the difference?
