View Full Version : Oh...the joy of the using big stack on the bubble as a weapon...

I think I haven't been taking advantage enough of the situation where you have half the tourney chips with 4 players remaining. I was on the receiving end of being one of 3 short stacks on the bubble where the big stack was pushing every chance he got, and saw how effective the strategy could be. Finally got to put it in action - boy can it work.

Maybe in a looser game people will break down and call earlier, but this is a good example of the power of the big stack where the other three players go into survival mode to get in the money.
