i never understood the bubble stalls, unless your just playing to make itm, then why are you playing in the first place, cause the real pay out is 1st through 3rd in any tourney, if u have a stack in my opinion, you need to be using it to dominate the short stacks and if you are short stack the last thing you need is the blinds to go up...if i have less than 8 bbs late in tournament, im shoving a way wider range....no way im gonna hope tht some one fucks up so i can win 10th place...i do stall cash games sometimes but its cause i have a buncha tables up and it takes awhile on some hands. if you aint first your last!
