Default Re: Bubble Play Tips

even if pot odds dictate a call, u still will likely fold (gambler's ruin)

the single most important idea for bubble play is ICM

read posts on it, buy sngpt(sng-analyzer) from eastbay and look at your hhs to see what hands/scenarios were +/- ev


the 5 most important considerations on the bubble:

a) blinds
b) stack sizes
c) positioning
d) your opps (calling ranges, pushing ranges, is anybody already limping/raising before your turn this hand?)
e) your cards

your cards don't always matter if a-d fit certain models
your opps don't always matter if a-c fit certain models
your positioning doesn't always matter if a-b fit certain models
your stack sizes don't always matter if a) fits certain models
