However as you can see, the bubble is the most popular finish - which is getting quite frustrating. I do play pretty aggressively around the bubble, and I know this is the reason why my bubble% is so high - but if I try to slow it down I worry that my blinds are going to get eaten up - and I'm having trouble finding a balance between the two. I know that I'm doing OK - but any advice would be great to help me move on to that next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Re: Stats Assessment Playing aggressive around the bubble (which is considered the correct play ) SHOULD increase your number of bubble finishes, but also your number of first places ...... You do have marginally more firsts than seconds or thirds - this could be the reward for your increased number of bubble spots ..... As you say though, a very small sample for the moment......

Cloud Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Re: Stats Assessment Looking at my stats again - I've realised that I reach the top four 57% of the time, and it's got me wondering if that is actually too much (sounds silly I know) - and I'm not taking enough chances early on - as it could be that I'm somewhat limping into the final 4 (unless I get gifted some easy chips). And that would account for the high 4th place percentage - as when I do play aggressively around the bubble I don't really have the chips to warrant it. If I was to up the aggression earlier, it might be that I will have a few more 7,8,9 and 10's - but some of them 4th's might become 1st or 2nds - and the ROI would increase. I think I can hear Harrington calling..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Re: Stats Assessment Personally I like tight early (as does Harrington ;) He only talks of loosening up when M is low)...... though I'm not a very good STT player so am probably wrong......
