View Full Version : Bubble Play

It seems that since I've started frequenting 2+2 I've bubbled far more frequently. I think I might have become overly agressive on the bubble and so slowly my chips dwindle. Here's my last tournament where I bubbled. Is anyone not pushing this? We had been 4 handed for about 30-40 minutes, and most of it was original rasier would take it preflop or after a continuation bet.

It's just that I've bubbled in the last half of SnGs over the past two days. It's getting frustraiting. The real question is: was this just bad luck to run into AJ?

In this situation it doesnt matter as much that a raise pf has taken it down nearly as much as who has been raising pf.

if that dude with the monster stack called u with 7 high i would assume this wasnt the first instance of him playing loose with his mountain of chips. In which case I would fold here, hope he pushes and beats the other smallie thats in the big blind.

As a side note you werent unlucky to "run" into AJ, you were unlucky it was a super donk that was dealt AJ and decided to call you here for some donk ass reason I won't try to understand.
