  1. What strategy do you use when you are one of the shortest stacks approaching a bubble?

  2. Premium member…I have bubbled about 8 times. Then I decided it was time to study and find my leaks to avoid the bubble. I studied hard and cashed 3 times in a row. All the bubbles and cashes was in WSOP Circuit Events.

  3. I was in this situation last night in a small mtt bounty. 22 left with 20 in the money, sitting with 12bb. My first piece of advice, is not to panic. Also as Lexi stated, do not pass on premium hands. I had AKs and AKo approaching the money and I got it in pre both times, where my opponents tried to win my bounty both times with 75s and 74o because I was so short. Had I passed on those spots I would not of been able to make the money. Also when sitting with 10-12bb, you are simply trying to make the money, once you get in you can focus back onto chip accumulation.

  6. Sad to see the titles of your vids have become as cringe as a late night get rich quick infomercial.

  8. I think it's important to consider the value of your chips. If 100ppl and 15 cash, with 16 left and average stack is 40BB, and you have 10BB is, so 650BB is out there and 10BB represents 1/65 which means your value is 1.5x the buyin, so goal should be to exceed that. I think math can help. If you fold tens (60% equity) to a shove on the bubble, it probably increases your cashing odds from 60% to 85% (so gain is 1.5* 25%= 0.375 buyins from folding. Offsetting that is the difference in expected results. At 10BB odds of winning is about 1/65, odds double at 20BB. So 60%*2 = 1.2 vs 80%*1= 0.8 not perfect, but I think you pick up 0.4 approx by calling so it's approx ev neutral.

  9. Nick Vitucci the scammer that swindle millions from people in his real estate Seminars!!! Scumbag of Poker!!!!

  10. They'll always be that someone there to call you because you're short stack the reason they go in
