Is bubble play limited to 4 handed? - Page 3

In response to #1. Yes...yes it is the bubble. It's the very definition of bubble, the next person to get knocked out is the last one to not make money.

So are you guys actaully unwilling to make make bubble adjustments until there are only 4 players left or are you just blindly defending the definition?

Now you're arguing semantics. Of course you adjust. It's not adjusting to the bubble, it's just adjusting to being short-handed. You can be shorthanded without being on the bubble.

Technically yes, but still #2 feels more like the bubble than #1. In #2 the nr of hands before people gets ITM should on average be much smaller than in #1.

The bubble is a psychological thing except in blatantly obvious chip situations. So if a guy really tightens up 5 handed, then it is the bubble for him.

Mathematically, 5 handed isn't the bubble the same way 4 handed is.

Noodle,

The bubble "technically" is when there is one player remaining, I believe.

However, "the bubble" is when the mindset changes so that the gap gets crazy.

In, for example, a step 5, that starts when the game starts.

You're supposed to play tighter on the button. Hmmm, I knew I was doing something wrong.
