My sincere congratulations to those who got in the money in the weekly $200 freeroll at PartyPoker and deep commiserations to those who did not. Wishing the best of luck on all the mobsters who will be entering the tournament on next Sunday.
Went out early this week too. Managed to win a good pot but then lost 4k chips to a pot-size betting maniac with mid pair who hit trips on river and then I was left with 2k. Then, instead of playing tight like I should, I went super maniac with any suited connectors I saw... but didn't hit any flops and kept getting called

Only one familiar face from the regulars here. Congratulations. Icequeen, with 3.50$ for the last place, i would wait for the bubble to burst first, if i had the chips. Not like you are getting a couple of cents out of it. Congratulations to all and better luck next time.

Once again I was a no show for this tourney...hopefully in coming weeks I can find the time to join in. Interesting discussion about whether to sit tight on the bubble or go for it. In my opinion, go for it is the only option, as you aren't going to win the tourney by sitting there doing nothing and hoping to min cash.

I think there is an argument for playing soft and waiting for bubble to burst, but I was 19/20 with 18 paying, so in that situation, I absolutely believe (and know) that not shoving is -ev.
I could have done a stop and go, but result would have been the same. I did have enough chips to sit tight, but gotta go for the win.

I think that unless you have a very good starting hand like A A or K K you should play tight with any other hand it is almost a coin flip all the time.
I said it before there is sill poker after the bubble so if you pass it it does not mean that you gone stay there and collect only the last prize.
You could start hitting very good hand and still going very deep for bigger money.

If you were 19/20 and you couldnt make it itm i get it. But if you had the chips to get paid, why not. You went only to steal the blinds. And as i said the last place is 3.5 while the first is 40. Its not like other frerrolls that you get a few cents for it.It is a considerable amount. When was the last time you won it?

I can understand that somebody would fold on AK instead to be on bubble position!but if we dont play on that cards,on what to play then?maybe if I watch other tables and to see that we have all in play and that somebody could lose,then to fold and see will I get in prize pool,but it would be hard for me to fold AK!

Well you can do it again and again, it is your call either way. Just hope you wont lose like this again and again
Watching the rest of the table at this point of the game is a must. Especially here its too easy since it is either 2 or 3 tables, when down to 20, depending on how many seats each table has.
