    I've been being pretty aggresive on the bubble, but most of the time I'm getting called down pretty light by a big stack and getting KO'ed or nearly KO'ed. So, what is the correct way to play the bubble in these in these positions: early, mid, late, button, and in the blinds?

    I usually have around an average stack, sometimes a little more...so assume an M of 7-10.

    Any help you guys could offer would be great! Thanks in advance.

    You just have to adapt to the table you are at in each different one. Sometimes they'll let you run them over, and sometimes you have a bunch of stations and action players. Just go with the flow.

    "but most of the time I'm getting called down pretty light by a big stack and getting KO'ed or nearly KO'ed."

    I think you misunderstand bubble play in 45-mans. For one, you said "called down pretty light." This makes it seem like you're multi-street bluffing into bigger stacks, which I wouldn't do. focus more on shoving with (or into) 10 BB or under stacks, especially from late. Don't try to mess with the bigger stacks; mess with people that you have outchipped that are in something like 2nd-7th place.

    Na, I'm talking about pushing pre and getting called down by a big stack. Probably more or less variance, but I'm not sure.

    Thanks for the help folks. Let me know if y'all have anything else.
