Random HH from $109 - how to wield the big stack on the bubble

[robilaruk]

At this point I have a large chip lead against two equal stacks, both of who have settled for 2nd (as you will see). So for folks who don't know how to bully have a look, this is standard practice, so if nothing else, see what the big stacks are doing to you, and maybe stand up to them next time with a 'marginal' hand if the price is right. Their problem was that neither of them wants to go out without getting some cash (bless em ;)), which means when one busts out to me, they will be severely short stacked (unless they stand up to me and hit a hand to have a chance) Damo ps this takes place straight after the possible royal flush hand Hand #339143684 at table: 5 Player $100 NL Started: Thu Jun 22 <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />15:10:33 2006 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
