  How To Play A Big Stack

  Defending On The Bubble
  

  You're three away from the money in an online tournament and have 25,000 in chips with the blinds at 500/1,000. You are in the big blind and have A-10. It is folded to the small blind who has 55,000 in chips. He raises it a whopping 8 times the big blind. What do you do? For most players, it is a no brainer. They fold, survive to move on to the next hand, and fume a little about that small blind bullying them. The simple truth of the matter is there is a ton of poker articles about attacking the bubble. Almost everyone has read it and the good players apply it to their game. What isn't discussed often is how to defend against these bubble attackers. Learning how to properly defend on the bubble can turn a minimum cash into a big one.

  The Value Of Going Deep
  

  Many of the top internet professionals have what appears to be a reckless, carefree attitude when it comes to playing tournament poker. They'll bust out early event after event and shrug it off as if it is no big deal. Most of these players make the money at a rate well less than 20% of the time but they are still turning huge profits. Why? Because when they do cash, they go deep.

  Here is a typical player who cashes a lot but doesn't make it deep:

  100 tournaments played (assuming a $100 buy-in on average)
  21 cashes
