Silver Level
You have burst through the bubble, but not without its price. Your stack is rather small, 20-25bb.
What's next? There are hard way, easy way and compromise way:
- You can try your best to be the 1st. Screw the ICM, it's only all or nothing.
- Your folds now have +$EV and you can abuse the hell out of it. With over 20bb you could just outsit like 1/3 of players left. Easy money and no variance. But will you ever get close to the first place if you planning to play like this from the start?
- You can switch between the easy way and hard way. Sitting out unless a premium hand or push-fold state (gaining some prize money in the process) and then try to climb this out, but it would be much harder than if you go for it from the beginning of the bubble. While your stack is small, your chances of winning are flowing away with every chip you let to go.
So, which way you're going and which one you should go?
