Abusing the bubble is a great way to chip up for the long haul to the final table. Pay special attention to your table as the bubble draws near. If the table seems to be playing tight, get active. If there are certain players playing tight, attack their blinds. If you notice a player using his timebank, he is only going to be playing his top 3-5%, raisy-daisy. If a big stack is obviously abusing the bubble and you have some fold equity, three bet that monkey (with position.) Obviously stay away from tight players who call or four bet you. Stay away from the big stacks with whom you have no fold equity. Here is an example of me gambling it up 5 players from the bubble: Full Tilt Poker Game #12240231088: $10 + $1 Tournament (91334346), Table 7 - 300/600 Ante 75 - No Limit Omaha H/L - 19:19:24 ET - 2009/05/15 Seat 1: COMEBACKID1 (17,314) Seat 2: iwntmymummy (31,137) Seat 4: fleegreen (12,787) Seat 5: BobbyRutts (43,127) Seat 7: eric_the_actor1 (22,296) Seat 8: hokumfool (17,320) Seat 9: NativeAK (30,959) COMEBACKID1 antes 75 iwntmymummy antes 75 fleegreen antes 75 BobbyRutts antes 75 eric_the_actor1 antes 75 hokumfool antes 75 NativeAK antes 75 BobbyRutts posts the small blind of 300 eric_the_actor1 posts the big blind of 600 The button is in seat #4 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to hokumfool [Ad 6h 4d 2d] hokumfool raises to 2,625 NativeAK folds COMEBACKID1 calls 2,625 iwntmymummy folds fleegreen folds BobbyRutts folds eric_the_actor1 folds *** FLOP *** [5c Tc Th] hokumfool bets 5,000 COMEBACKID1 has 15 seconds left to act COMEBACKID1 folds Uncalled bet of 5,000 returned to hokumfool hokumfool mucks hokumfool wins the pot (6,675) The table was playing really tight, I had a better than average hand, so I popped it up and took it down with a strong continuation bet. I would have still cashed no problem if he had raised me, and if he just called, I was done with the hand. It was a really great flop for me. Only a few specific hands could make a call or raise, especially considering our stack sizes. There is nothing particularly note worthy about this hand. It is a standard play. A standard play all of you should be making. GG GL |
