the Donkey of Poker

Playing the $3,750 GTD on Carbon Poker knowing I was going to be needing some addon money for the Sunday $109 buyin $50,000 GTD cashing out this game was a must, I am already registered next week with my coupon I won.

Grabbing some chips to coast or boost into the money or final table.  The bubble is the finishing place just before the money in a poker tournament.  It can also be described as a finishing place where there is a difference in a payouts.  Often times people will say they final table bubbled, they finished 1 off the final table (where the larger payouts are awarded).

How can you put yourself in a position to gather up chips during this time of a tournament?

How the prize pool is distributed is different from site to site with 2 main differences in the percentage awarded. For the past 30 years the payouts have been about the same style known as the regular payout and some people prefer a flat payout structure.

What is the difference?  Which do you prefer?

This is a replay of a heads up shoot out match.  Took a little longer then wanted to defeat the first player but he kept doubling back on me.  The final was a little easier because while playing the first game I was watching the other table gathering notes.
