Hey. If the mode of simultaneous hands you come up with a strong card. You need to put everything. You are two steps away from the prize money. Your actions?

Hi there

players always tighten up around the bubble so playing your best hands is crucial to move past this as once the bubble goes..its spew time for many short stacks. if i was 10 away from money i would still play this way

I always play certain hands at the begin of tournaments and then tighten up once I have some chips. But sometimes even the best hands really don't win at times.

I wish you well my friend, if there is one thing i have learnt from poker..telling you how i play and actually playing that way are two very different things, there is so much variance.
Play the board, play the cards..it becomes dangerous to play the man :)

Agree! People are deceptive but the cards don't lie!

In poker there are always moments when you need to decide whether to take risks or not.
It all depends on each particular situation.
Usually my intuition helps me.

If I have a really good hand such as AA-KK-QQ, then I play even if there are a few players left to the prize zone, but if the card is not very much then I fold and wait to get into the prize zone and then I try to play on normal hands !!

If the cash prizes are large, then I will only play with AA and KK, other pocket cards - fold.

I try to fold alot near the money. I like to only play with AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK. This might be a good time to steal blinds too, depending on the size of your stack.

Any way to slip into the money is necessary. A bluff or two could help but folding alot can sure keep you in the game.

Just don't let the blinds eat you up.

High stakes (difficult decision), I analyze the premium value for example. I'd rather not risk near the bubble.

usually at pokerstars I have lost in such a situation with very good cards many times even when the next place is paid and the one who goes all in with cards like 3 8 win often thinks like playing with robots

Hi.
Yes, I am always ready to take risks. Why not ?
That's why I play poker so that at the appropriate moment of the game you can take reasonable risk.
Good luck.

You have to put up everything then sounds like you are short stacked. If so I'm putting it all up anyway, if I'm deep stacked then I'll go for a knock out

It's not always good for me, but if I have a strong card then I play.

it all depends on the situation at the table. If there are no aggressors and raises then a small raise. If the big raises are only with premium pairs at all, if only a strong hand then fold.

Depends on your chip stack and everything. At bubble sometimes you can easy fold AK if you're chip leader and the opponent is asking for half of your chips, don't need to risk, because maybe he is wild. But hands like AA or KK you should go all-in no matter how big is the prize or anything. You need your chips after the bubble because a lot of short stacked players going all-in after they're in money because they will earn something, and than you can play again your game and double your stack. :)
But there is no such a skill in all-in, so good luck :)
