Default WSOP Folding into the bubble

I know that most are totally against this, however if one can really use the cash, what chip level to start day3 would you think would be a comfortable number to reach the money with playing few if any hands???

Yes I sat'd in (total cost $200). I am at 72k now, however for the most part I realize I am totally outmatched. The most I ever won was $975 in a tourney. I owe about $9k in cc, so I would be very happy with 14k

How many will be left at the start, and what will the blinds be?

About 1100-1150, blinds are 6-1200 200 for an jour then 800/1600/200 for a full level, then I believe 1000/2000/200

I'm sure you can fold in now with 72K, but do you really want to give up the chance for big money? I hear that last year the bubble dragged on forever, so the more chips you have at that critical time the better. Try and maintain your 72K as long as you can, and remember a lot of people just want to sneak in too, If you can get past the bubble, which should be fairly early on day 3, with some chips left, you might still have a chance to move up.

You should be in fine shape, just play your big hands fast. You might be surprised by how much action you get anyway. Try to pay a lot of attention at the table and identify players who will put you to a really tough decision and players who are looking to be passive just like you are. Avoid the former and get involved with the latter. If you really aren't concerned about accumulating chips, you should be able to get away with some very tight play and still make it with your stack.
