Model Hand: The Bubble

Step 1 / 3

◇ Just read — no action needed

The setup

The bubble, four players, three get paid. You lead with 60 big blinds; the others hold 22, 18 and 25. Watch two laws in one hand: the leader may open nearly anything, and the short stack's shove — correct by its own arithmetic — still runs into the one stack that can afford to call.

Play

Four players, three paid — watch the leader's license work and the short stack's arithmetic lose.
