bubble Advice from a Pro?
 

I read this advice on Full Tilt and almost puked. Can he really be serious?

Bubble Advice from Paul Sexton

Re: bubble Advice from a Pro?
 

Its solid advice.

This article was discussed in a thread in the MTT Strategy forums. I think Paul Sexton is correct in the specific example he gives when he's extremely short. I elaborated on my thoughts in that thread.

LOL I read the thread - truly aweful advice. How did the Paul-nit get so short to begin with? Prolly trying to fold into the $$ from 2 far out [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!

Generally, if you are playing to cash over the bubble, you are playing over your BR. An unknown nit posting strategy advice - caveat emptor!

I posted about this on the other thread. I guess daddy got Paul a job as an FTP pro. I think a lot of these red names are amateurs who were on TV. They get paid a little by FTP to play low stakes so the donks can play a "pro", and this allows them to play poker full time.

Re: bubble Advice from a Pro?
 

yeah,this article was a joke,you make more money in the long run going for the win... so this is a "so called pro" who is playing out of his bankroll

Re: bubble Advice from a Pro?
 

seriously, who wants to win a tournament when you can cash for twice your buy-in!

Re: bubble Advice from a Pro?
 

this advice obviously applies to some stack of like 1 or 2 big blinds. But where do you draw the line?

Probably depends on the table, but I'd assume that if by doubling you can gain a stack big enough to have fold equity versus the opponents you're most likely to contend a pot with you should not be folding KK.

Quick question for those who think it's bad advice - have you ever seen someone come back from 0.3BBs on the bubble to go deep in the tourney? Would you say it's common? I think it's extremely rare, which is why this is a good spot to minimize your losses and try to cash. If he had 2BB, I think it's a pretty easy push with KK.
