Say you are playing in a $3 rebuy on PS. The top 125 qualify and there are 230 left. You have twice the average chip stack. Are you in the AA folding situation yet? Can you safely leave your PC and go down the cinema?
I realise the post is very vague. I am not meaning to single out any particular situation. I wonder if there is any generally agreed rule.
One thing I find useful is to see what the average stack size will be on the bubble. Obviously if you actually get to the bubble with an average stack size you will not be in any trouble. So if I am currently above the average current bubble stazk size then I try to work out how long it will take me to get down to that size, and then see if it is likely we will have reached the bubble by then.
This is, looking at it, a dumb way to think. I should first try and work out when the bubble will be, and then work out what my stack size will be. What is a good formula for this? e.g. if there are x ppl left and y ppl get paid how do I work out how long it will tell to get from x to y?
