Message: [QUOTE="bonflizubi, post: 1055130, member: 42360"] The experts are right if your goal is to make the big bucks. That only comes from hitting final tables. And the guys that hit final tables feast on the weak at bubble time. If yo uare a beginner and just like the idea of cashing... then sure, play to cash. If the money you would make from a min cash is THAT important to you then you are probably playing over your roll. Big fiedl sattellites might make sense for beginners and such as they play much like a regular MTT until the bubble... and post bubble you all get paid the same anyway. But once you've played a few, go the other way. If yo uare playing alot you will make far more with one deep cash then 100 min cashes. Figure out who the table bully is..and fight back. They are mor likely to leave you alone, and you can likely geta healthy portion of their chips in doing so if yo uactually have a hand.. since they won't. Here's an example. I was playing th eFull Tilt Million last night. As we neared the bubble I got switched tables and noticed teh guy to my left had an avatar with a gold football jersey---which I know is only given to players that won one of their FTOPS events - so the guy is a stud. He min-raised every single hand from 25 out of the bubble into the money if it was folded to him- even if he was UTG. It took about 2 hands for me to realize what he was doing--- and while I am sure everyone else knew too, most hands he took the blinds and antes uncontested. I chipped up nicely by calling from teh blind on him or re-raising with nothing. The on hand where he was UTG and I called in teh BB and hit top pair, he led ou on K high flop, I called. He lead turn, i riaseed, he folded, I got some nice chips. THe point is, espcially if it's acheap buyin and you have any kind of stack.. open up before the bubble and get wider as you reach it.... target the medium stacks. Big stacks can play with you and shorties might shove . And FEAST on the people playing to cash. You can sometimes as much as double your stack here..and what you really want is the big money at the end. WHy play 4 hours in a $10 tourney to get $15 back? [/QUOTE]
