I have no records of the hands in those situations.you have to show the hand
I love your response but I'm a bit confused on the tournament structure. How do I know what tourney to choose by looking at the structure?You have to scope out the tournament before you play it.
You should have a clue how many levels it will take to cash and much you need at certain levels to have a realistic chance of cashing and know if the bubble could last 30 mins when you get down to the last 5 or will it go fast.
You have to know tourn structure as well. You have to know when to fold that AQ or JJ or QQ when it could put you at risk of not cashing or when to shove with those hands because you need chips.
Who are you playing against? A bunch of aggressive donks who raise every hand with trash hands? Calling stations or rocks that if you shove will more than likely let you take the blinds. You also need to know their skill level. Are they donks, decent players or good players that usually play that tourn? Do you have notes on the regulars??
Again, there is a whole bunch of info you need to know before you even play.
That's true!If it's not the FT bubble, and you have a nice stack then you can simply sit out and wait till bubble bursts. Quite simple.
Bubble is a thin thing. You have to throw everything away.

Well I noticed that you bubbled yesterday in the Cardschat $1,000 tournament on Pokerstars.... so I decided to send you the $4.40
gl in the next one!
Chipleader The most enjoyable stack. There is nothing special to invent here, but you don’t need to throw everything off either. To begin with, we should pay attention to those who sit with a comfortable stack to advance to the ITM. We will make money on them. Since they have a sufficient number of chips, they will cover your styles very, very narrowly. As for short stacks, push ONLY when necessary. Let the middle stacks deal with them, and then we will just crush them.Medium stack The position is already worse, but still bearable. Here the game is as straightforward as it can be. Good hands shoved, bad hands folded. Against a big stack, we don’t cut ourselves, but we try to push into equal or short stacks.Well, first you need to pray that the middle stack will kill the chip leader, and you miraculously slipped into the ITM. In fact, this will be the most correct decision. If you see that the middle stack has begun to raise its paw on the chipak, then it is better to step back and give them an opportunity to cut down. As for pushing, it's better to push into other short or medium stacks.Man I'm beginning to lose track of how many times I lose all my chips on the bubble and the sad thing is I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Someone with experience please share your knowledge!
Makes much sense letting the mid stack handle the guys that are stacked!Chipleader The most enjoyable stack.

This is what scared money players do who would rather min-cash than to put pressure on small stacks and make chips at a critical time of the tourney.
Dont follow this advice - it's bad.
So, he's afraid of the bubble, and that was a bad advice? Let's, maybe, think about it?
Please explain us - how can you put pressure on small stacks if you are a small stack or smallest stack at the table? How can you put pressure if you have a nice stack (3-5th in size) at 8 max table and all of the bigger stacks are a) aggressive and b) sitting behind you?
It's easy to put pressure and feel comfortable being CL at the table or second in chips sitting behind bigger stack. But if stack is nice enough and you can afford to lose 2-4BBs, and you feel stress during the bubble - why not just sit out for couple of rounds to 1) guarantee yourself return of investment 2) spend this time to meditate and get rid of the tilt, instead of putting or feeling the pressure? Obviously players who have such bubble worries are having a problem with tilt control, and by leaving the game for 10 minutes these players can easily solve this.
Always go all-in with premium hands There aren't many situations in Texas Hold'em where it makes sense to fold aces preflop. Bubble tournament play is one of them. Imagine a situation where you have a 3BB stack on the bubble, you are dealt aces, and a couple of players in front of you go all-in. “Call and triple!”, the reader will tell the obvious answer. The problem is that even tripling won't give you enough stacks to have a good chance of going deep into the tournament. But, at the same time, you run the risk of flying out right before the prizes. And the more players in the pot, the less likely you are to win the pot, even with the strongest starting hand.Man I'm beginning to lose track of how many times I lose all my chips on the bubble and the sad thing is I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
