Qualifying for BS Bubble:

[Dodger]

Noticed the bubble tournament in the diary, so shoved a fiver in (haven't played there for a while) with the sole intention of getting into this bubble freeroll. But, as is said by those in the know, the best laid plans... To qualify for BS bubble: 6:20 am 10 cent game 6 player, need 3rd place: 3 players left, player in 3rd place folds and I'm heads up with chip leader. I hold 9J spades, board shows 4h 5h Ac, leader goes all in and I happily follow him...straight into the bubble tournament on first attempt. He shows J3 hearts and the last two cards don't help him.:( I won the game for 42 cents when I just didn't want to...it's harder to bubble than you might think! 6.40 am 10 cent game 10 player, need 4th place: 1st hand AA, maybe it's easier to do this from a strong early position so... all in, lost to a flush.:\ 6.42 am 10 cent game 6 player, need 3rd place: completely sat out and had a bath...finished 2nd for 18cents...ah well!:wall 7.05 am 10 cent game 6 player, need 3rd place: Fold AA early...that just doesn't feel right at all! Anyway, 4 left in I've got nowt...leader and struggler go all in...YES!!!...struggler wins, I don't beat leader for rest...out in 4th!...NO!!! 7.15 am 10 cent game 10 player, need 4th place: 10 cent game 6 player, need 3rd place: Nice one, out in 4th place, till I realise it was the 6 player and the ten player was already down to 3...BUGGER!!! :wall:wall 2nd for 30 cents. 7.35 am 10 cent game 6 player, need 3rd place: I have never taken so much stick in my life: omg; wtf; looser u bet j4???; fkoff fishface. Ah...but it was worth it...out in :cow:cow3rd place!!!:cow:cow Total cost 7 x 12 cents = 84 cents less 90 cents winnings (oops!) So, profit of 6 cents and a place in the Bubble tournament. Fun, but not as easy as I expected as you are forced to do things that are contrary to your nature.

Re: Qualifying for BS Bubble: Its harder than it looks, Tend to start raising all my chips bar one with any 2 cards looking to fold to any reraise and normally end up bluffing my way into the money.
