In last night’s Midnight Madness tournament I made my best showing yet. Out of 1,872 players, I finished 28th. Out of the six Midnight Madness tournaments that I have played in, I have cashed in three of them and my RIO is quite nice. My final hand, I was in chip gathering/survival mode with an M of less than 7, I pushed with A6o to get called by AQo, we both hit our kickers on the flop, but I did not improve. Unfortunately I was the bubble of the next prize increase, so if I was focused on just the money, I should have waited, but making the next prize level was not my goal, I wanted to win. To win, I would need chips and my table image and stack size was about the right size to push off a lot of players and if I were to wait, that might not have been the case.

Question.. you are at the bubble of the next prize level, which would jump the prize payout another 33% to what the current level is at and you have an M of 7 and have a weak Ace. There are four people who have smaller chip stacks than you and 23 players who have more chips. What would you do?
