Alternate Bubble Play Poker Strategy in Texas Holdem

Video Transcript

Let's talk about an alternative to optimal bubble play. You know there comes a time when your stack may just be too small to achieve fold equity. Look at the size of this stack, what' the "em" here? The "em" is two, your "em" or "csi" is two. Look at the size of this stack, look at all these chips this is someone who's going to call you no matter what. Let's say there are two or three people left before the bubble. You know what, unless I look down at these two cards and see a pair of tens, you know a pair or better, a pair of eights or better, let's say if I don't look down and see a pair of eights or better, I'm going to fold. You know what, eight, six, fold. Sometimes, it's better to say I don't have any fold equity, and just fold. Unless you get a great hand. Because it's better to have a little bit of cash, than to have a loss for the tournament.
