Bubble Rush - are multi table tournaments on PokerStars that begin in a hyper-turbo format and slow down when the prize zone is reached. The players start the tournament with 10,000 stake and blinds levels increase every 3 minutes.

The games which feature buy-ins from $0.55 to $33 during the week and up to $109 on the weekends are running around the clock with more than 20 events each day. Players can satellite in even cheaper with hyper-turbo satellite tournaments running before each event.

Players kick off tournaments with 10,000 chips and blinds increasing every three minutes in a hyper-turbo format. Once the tournament's bubble breaks with the remaining players cashing, blind levels increase to 'regular' times before increasing even further as the tournament becomes deeper.

Late registration lasts for 35 minutes with the time increase in blind levels after the bubble breaks and later on in the tournament varying for each event.

During the first Bubble Rush tournament, the $22 Bubble Rush, $10K Gtd, the time length for blind level increases grew from three to 12 minutes once the bubble broke a little more than an hour into the tournament. Most of the 71 remaining players out of the starting 480 player field that cashed for the minimum of $44.45 were initially left in push/fold mode with the average stack being 8.5 big blinds and the chip leader holding almost 27 big blinds when the bubble broke.

However, due to the increase in blind levels slowing down and more than half of the remaining field being eliminated shortly after the bubble broke, the average stack more than doubled more during the next blind level.

With 27 players remaining, blind levels increased to 15 minutes and increased once again to an even longer 20 minutes when the nine-player final table was reached a little more than 2.5 hours after play began with the average stack at around 27 big blinds and the chip leader boasting more than 50 big blinds.

The first-ever Bubble Rush tournament lasted a total of 3.5 hours after Germany's 'Rastabombast' and Netherlands' 'Can'tCrushMe' agreed to a heads-up deal for $1,566 and $1,529 respectfully. Other Bubble Rush tournaments could finish faster or slower pace depending on a variety of variables, however, they should always be completed quicker than a regular tournament with a similar number of entrants.

Poker Bubble Rush

When playing in a Texas Hold’em Tournament all players want to experience the buzz of the bubble stage. It is what you want and where you want to be, as long as you are not the next person out!

What is the bubble?

This is the point in a tournament where the next player out does not take any winnings. The remaining players will take something away from the table.

Example: The tournament you are in states that the top 25 players will win money and there are 26 players left. These 26 players are “on the bubble”. The one player that is knocked out and gets no reward is said to have been knocked out “on the bubble”.

Playing the bubble – Different strokes for different folks!

Make no mistake when the bubble period is reached in a tournament, things change. It really is the do-or-die time. It is fairly common to find players changing their style dependent upon the stack in front of them.

This affects whether they decide to look at survival which will ensure they get a share of the prize on offer, or whether they should play with the intention of busting out other players.

Two general categories of bubble player

• Survival: This category of player has their priority on surviving. By doing so they will be safe in the knowledge that doing so entitles them to take home some winnings

• Playing to win: This player’s intention is to take no prisoners. They are playing to win the tournament and have every intention of using this period to their advantage in order to accumulate more chips

Different styles and strategy of bubble play

The different styles and strategy of bubble play should be studied. Not just during a tournament that you are playing in, but also while on the sidelines. Such analysis will help in future tournaments and give you a greater chance of not only surviving the bubble, but of also increasing your chances of scaling that prize ladder.

• Different styles: Some players will fold just about every hand, even good hands. Their playing style will be as tight as can be. Others will start raising and going all-in on lots of hands. The size of a player’s stack and how the other players are acting will affect these decisions.

• Strategic decisions: The number of players left at your table will affect your strategy. It determines such things as how many hands a player can survive folding with the antes as well as Big Blind (BB) and Small Blind (SB). Conversely, if a player has a big stack then an effective strategy can be to play loose/aggressive in order to accumulate chips

Being “the bubble” hurts, but…

There is no easy way to put it. Being knocked out “on the bubble” hurts, but it is important not to dwell negatively on the fact for too long. Remember you got to within one of taking something home. With positive analysis of mistakes made during play, you can determine how plays could have been made differently.
