Default Re: Will Day 3 Start Off Playing Like a Bubble Right Away?

There will be a lot of players entering the day thinking about making it into the money. Find your targets early. The tourny will be down to 873 players sooner than you think.

As she pushed with 52o (or something like that) against a squeeze play I don't think she has that problem, nor do you know who you are talking too

Alright... Plan B is to establish tight image early so that I can pwn the bubble when it is clearly a bubble.

GL man - it would be awesome to get a trip report from you re pwning the table as the bubble approaches like it was some $4/180!

It seems like play is farily normal at the start of Day 3. They're just to far from the bubble.

Do people really think the bubble matters that much? The bubble prize is basically zero.

Not considering a lot of people won their seats in freerolls and low cost satellites, those low end payouts are a real payday for them.

From this article, at least for one it is:

[ QUOTE ]
As I was working around 3:00 AM Thursday, an Asian gentleman, who I will call Kim, sneaked into the Media Room. I have been sweating him since the beginning of the Main Event, and I only have a cryptic understanding of his story: he is in his 50's, appears to be beyond struggling to make ends meet, has a very old laptop, has grooming and attire issues. Yet he sits somewhere between $140-190k in chips. I watched as he excitedly talked to a pro yesterday, basically begging to understand what it would take to cash. I opened up the spreadsheet I had just made, found his table and his chip count, figured out who was out his table (he's at one of the top ten players in chips), and we went through all of the different things that could happen, how many times the button would make an orbit each hour, what that would do to his stack, would his table be moved, etc. I told him it was important to look the part, offered to buy him something to wear.
