Default Re: Zero flops on the bubble

Always good to have the option to lay a hand down i think so try to avoid going all-in on a stack >6 times BB. When first in, if I have >6 times BB my raise with whatever I have (be it J7s or AA) is usually 2.5 times BB. If my stack is <6 times BB my move is all-in

The blinds are big enough that i'm happy to take them down, even with AA.

If re-raised that's when I look at my cards and decide whether to call or fold. I like having that option, everyone else is on the bubble too and unless they have a monster stack, they are unlikely to re-raise without a monster hand. (unless they're a kick ass player, but you should have spotted them by now)

Every time I get knocked out on the bubble I take solice in the fact that I get a lot more 1st places than 2nd and 3rds and the odd bubble finish here and there is the price i pay for that.
