Bodog Ari

I'm Ari Engel and am also known as BodogAri online. I've played poker for a living for virtually my entire post-college life.

Trying to Bubble

One of my little mottos has always been, try to bubble, they won't let u, and you'll pick up alot of chips. The last 24 hours have been very succesful, in that I have bubbled 4 tourneys. (Within 5 people of $). Even though it is fustrating getting far in a tournament, and not showing any return, I believe that this is definately a long-run profitable strategy. Of course, like anything else in this game, alot depends on your table, situation etc. and but the general notion of trying to bubble has allowed me to get to many final tables in very good chip situations.

I will be leaving Vegas shortly, and although my wrist remains braceletless, I have had an enjoyable and educational experience. I have a long way to go, but this was definately a step in the right direction.

I am having some succes using the same tatic i have made 5 final tables in the past 10 days with 2 first, 2 seconds and a forth place finish. But i have bubbled a good amount of tourneys as well which is fine as long as I finsh in the top 3 when i do make it to the final table beacuse thats where the real money is at.

Hey Fan,

I'm not, I'm broke, homeless, and now living on the streets. Can u bankroll me for the $3 rebuy today?

Ok, now for real, what I'm trying to say, is the real way to make money in MTT, is not to try and "cash" or move up and make more money so u can "sustain" yourself, rather, take risks, play aggressively, etc.

If u are my fan...

Shipit, we were 2 people away from a money jump. I was trying to bubble,and like I wrote, ussually they won't let u bubble, even when u try very hard, that time they let me. Using the "try to bubble" strategy, has allowed me to put "food on the table" as my fan would say. Although, I find it preety funny that my fan is worried about me having enough to pay the rent.

BodogAri's fan- Do u mean a word u write? Have u ever watched me play? I'll let u know, u no longer have to worry about me putting food on the table. I really appreciate your concern for my wellbeing.

My intention was not to offend u, I just found it funny that u were so concerned about me putting food on the table. Yes, I'm looking to continuously improve my game, but what connection does that have?

Anyway's if you're name was for ex: pokerkidd101 (not to pick on him-i just see his name in comment 2) I wouldn't have said a word. But u went out of your way to create this name "BodogAri's Fan", so i figured that u already know I am profitable, hence I could not understand you're question. I still don't. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that I'm not having trouble putting food on the table, and I'm sure u were the only reader to have these kind of q's, and given the name, that def has some irony. I lived in basements too long i guess, if I find that funny, but NOTG. Enjoy you're "fanage".
