Re: Playing around the bubble
also, forgot to mention that u lost a couple of coin flips near the bubble. that's part of NLHE MTTs. u have to win those 50/50, 60/40, and even 70/30 hands at some point to make final tables. think about it this way: which is better? fold ur way and barely make it to the money 4 times for a profit of 4 buy ins? or bust out near the bubble 3, 4, 5, or 6 times but get first or second place once in between for a profit of over 10 buy ins? it is worth takin the risk (in a smart way, not recklessly) by applyin pressure near the bubble. time near the bubble is the time to pick up chips for the final table. all great MTT players understand this and use it. seems u doin a good job so far. good luck next time and try to get a hold of those harrington books if u haven't already.
