bubble aggression

    Default bubble aggression

    this is a $4 180. you always hear... 'get aggressive on the bubble'... whether its the ITM bubble or the FT bubble. so this example starts out with 27 people remaining. for those who don't know or don't remember... 18 is the money in these.

    i double up with AK. so i'm back in the game sorta speak. where should i be more aggressive to have a 'winning' stack as we approach the final table? the Q7 hand is just a steal attempt.... i had been so tight and i needed to get some blinds back.

    the last hand (A6o) was the last hand before the FT.

    thanks for the help... still learning... obviously.

    correction.... there's 18 left at this point... so this is the FT bubble.
    guys he's just looking to complain about taking coolers/beats

    he'll continue to be the type of poker player we all love, the one that isn't any good but thinks he is, and slowly donates to the regulars.

    Hand 7 make it ~6k pre flop, shove any flop

    Either complete the KJ hand or raise depending on read on limper.

    The best spots to raise as a steal would be the Q3s and 63s from the CO, at least you can flop a draw if you get called. Plus, these are easy to get away from if you get re raised. But neither are must raise hands. It looks like mostly the table was aggresive, often you don't get chance to steal.

    PS see if people will fold to smaller raises than 3x, sometimes yes sometimes no.
