I say to play real tight and if someone raises fold in till you get in the money
 
Я думаю, что стоит атаковать средние стеки, короткие и не играть с большими. Конечно, существует риск стать пузырьковой boy, но возможно ли достичь высоты в покере без риска? (я из Казахстана и перевод Google) Спасибо за понимание🙂
 
It depends what mood I'm in. Sometimes I might fold a good hand but never AA or KK to multiple all ins. Other times I'm in the mood to take on more risk. After all there's always another tourney. Sometimes you have to go for it! 🙂
 
fear is your enemy

never folding KK or QQ here. flat call with JJ and AK
 
Many players are very tight to reach the money near the bubble. If your goal is just to make money, then wait for the explosion. If your goal is to go deep, then play poker and steal some blinds to help you later. Of course there is a chance of being out of the money.
 
Tournament poker is far too situational to be able to just give a black & white answer to a question like the one asked by OP. Many variables need to be taken into consideration... 'this is poker'
 
personally I avoid action, but I'm isolating small stacks with premium hands. I hate seeing KK, or QQ in this spot, but you gotta make a choice. I cant count the amount of times I was in this spot, and lose with AK, KK, QQ, or even JJ. I can say though, some of my best tournament wins came off of situations where these hands held up.
 
I dont think there is adefinitive answer. It depends very much on how well you can classify your opponents at the table...

If your main goal is to reach ITM then simply folding any hand will probably get the job done with just 2 people left to eliminate for ITM...

But if you sit at a very tight table where everyone follows that strategy then you can significantly increase your stack by stealing blinds or pots with semi bluffs...
Many times you will find yourself ITM with 15-25 BB instead of 10-12 BB if you dare to take a bit more risk right before the bubble. This will allow your interchange higher prize ranges and will make up for the increased risk in the long run

But...but...but the bubble! KK and QQ are apparently trash now! [emoji849]

Definitely can’t be tossing out premium cards. At this stage everyone tightens up, which means the profitable play is to loosen up. You may sometimes bubble, but you’re setting yourself up for a deeper run in to the money which will pay off more in the long run. Gotta consider aggregate results, not single results.

great!
I totally agree. With 10bb you can still put the villans in dificult decision, and the bubble it's a great place to do it! :fight:
Aim the Final Table and go for it! Don't change your discipline for (maybe) a bad place ITM.
 
my opinion fold fold fold even AA...if u got players below u...if not...allin
 
Trying to figure out the best strategy to make the money seems to miss the point of playing tournaments.

If for some reason you have to cash you should stall and fold I guess?

As for me, I prefer to play for deep runs, final tables, and top 3's in particular as that is where most of my profit comes from in the long run.

Good luck to you! 😀

Why would you throw away QQ and KK? Is just returning of buyin and contining ultra short worth it? You have premium cards and also alot of fold equity .I could only imagine folding those hands on some satelite bubble or if you for example satelite for 1$ into sunday milion or some other high buyin mtt and making it into bubble is huge amount of money for your slim bankroll.Everything else is just nonsense.I hope you are just trolling lol hahah

No im a fish.I hope one day i will play on that level that i can fold KK to return my 2$ buyin,and continue to fight for final table with my 4 big blinds stack.
 
I'm thinking of picking the right hands for push,stealing blinds always.

You are in the late stage of a tournament with only 12 BB and only two players left to blow up the bubble.😛layingba
What would be the best strategy to reach the money?🙂

In this position I play the tightest version of my game 🙂
 
lacking that many players I would hold until the bubble burst, I think the only way I would risk is if I already have less BB and if I get a high pair
 
Late stages before the bubble bursts has been my problem for awhile. Thanks for asking the perfect question for me. All the feedback will help
 
Near the bubble or not, I'm looking for a hand to shove with. I see a lot of bubble questions, really, unless you are playing well over your bankroll you should be playing for 1st, not to cash. There are times I do (and would) play for a cash. These are usually live high buy in tournaments (1k and up). Anything under 500.00 I'm playing for 1st.
 
If only 2 players remain for the bubble, I play tight and for survival! I know very well to play short stack and I don't get desperate in this kind of situation!
7.5/8bbs you can still return to the game, just wait for the right moment!

I wait to shove in situations of SB x BB... (if BB is not deep stack)
 
the big stacks are most likely taxing everyone. try to stay out of their path and pick your spots. you are at what i call the "dump or fold" point in the game
 
If the goal is too "make the money" then fold till the bubble bursts. Unless you are the shortest stack in the tourney and they are all waiting for you. Then shove with KK+ in any position and think real hard about the shoving in the Small Blind and on the button with any holdings to a lessor extent.

Hands like 87 of 75ss in the small blind can be shoved since the BB will probably have at least one premium card 10+ or they will let go giving you the minimum chips possible.
