Ok, Unique situation for me...comments please?

[Trons]

I'm in a 1/.20 9Person SNG on Stars...(I came upon some T$ and was burning them up...and these are fun to play as a break from grinding.

I run card dead for most of the tourny and when blinds get to 50/100 there are 5 people left and I'm 3rd in chips with ~1200. Last place has been sitting out and has about 850 in chips...2nd to last has been playing manical with PF raises that just don't make any sense (half his stack when he should have been pushing...then folding to a reraise type moves, he was stealing a lot of blinds)...2nd to last place finially gets busted when the blinds hit 75/150. I still had about 1100 in chips (thanks to some blind steals but I was running very card dead) and last place (still sitting out) has about 500 in chips.

Normally when I get this low in chips, i go into super agressive mode...we're on the bubble...with 3 people active at the table, any ace would be a push (as well as some suited connectors and other hands)...But, since i was so card dead and another person was about to be blinded out, I went the other way...I just started folding (I didn't get any premium hands which I would have played had I got them)...I waited for the sitter to get blinded out (putting me ITM) and my next hand was JTs...I pushed and the button (who had limped) called with AA and I'm busted...

Was this smart, or should I have been more agressive and more worried about whinning then about getting ITM...by the way, the guy to my left was CL (with between 6000-8000 chips) and to my right was 2nd place with about 3000 in chips...I'm going from memory so don't flame me if the chip counts are exactly correct...you should get the idea...

It's tough for me to respond to what went on here because you put in so much information in an unorganized format. Let me try to organize it... hopefully I understood it right

Blinds went up to 75/150 (down to 4 players)
You had around 1100 chips
Guy sitting out has 500 chips
CL has about 6000
Other player has about 3000

In this situation, with a cripple about to be blinded out on the bubble, your pushes should be EXTREMELY tight if any active players are still to act. If it's folded to you against the cripple, then obviously raise any two cards to scoop the pot. I would shove QQ+ and fold the rest. You really don't want to shove AK and get donkey called by 22 (slightly ahead) or QT (slightly behind) here. Without the crippled player sitting out, you would shove a little wider.

JT would definitely be a fold.
