Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 3932019, member: 508"] Depends on the situation, honestly. Are we talking about money bubble or FT bubble? Are we looking at preflop situations or postflop situations? What are effective stacks? What was action before me? Etc. In general, I'm not afraid to bust out of the money bubble because min-cashing is in significant. Even if I had a decent 25 BB effective stack with a player sitting on 1 BB on the bubble, I'm not afraid to get it in with 1010+, AK. Possibly much wider vs opponent. Honestly, I cant tell you how many times I've bubbled with 20-30 BB effective stacks. I'm don't fear getting sucked out on and busting out because I'm looking at the bigger picture. Losing a buy-in or giving up some easy min-cash equity is a small risk to take for a better reward when my hand does hold up. You need a bigger stack to make deeper runs and deeper runs means more profit. Even if I risk a 25 BB stack with only 40% equity preflop, that 4/10 or 2/5 times I do double up my stack, I just need 1 really deep run to make up for those 3/5x I busted out and give up small equity. My strategy is to give up small, more frequent equity for bigger rewards. The final table bubble is a bit different though because now we're looking at bigger payouts. So, with 25 BBs effective and a player with 1 BB, I'm not going to get in as wide: QQ+, AKs for 25 BBs because the risk of busting out is much greater in terms of profit. Where as I don't care about making the money bubble, I do want to make the FT. Interestingly enough, I'm in the FT of a $25 GTD freeroll. Edit: 3rd/622. Actually surprised I got this far as I was a 9 BBs (lost big hand) with ~40 players left (20 paid). [/QUOTE]
