The Bubble is a popular phrase. It is that virtual area right outside of making a difference. For sports teams, those in the bubble are those who are about to make the playoffs, post season or eligibility to move on to the next level. For example, when it gets to the end of the regular season for American football some teams pull away and take command. Other teams sit a win or two away from making the post season. These teams that are close are considered to be on the bubble. For us poker fans the bubble is the place in between making it to the money rounds or losing everything. For some players being knocked out of a tournament in the bubble stages is more painful that being knocked out in the early rounds. They can see a payoff. They only need to make it to one more level. It is akin to being beat with a bad beat hand. You know you should win. You can taste it, and then it all goes away. It has happened to almost everyone.
Like bad beats, the bubble now has an insurance program. Bad Beat jackpots are won when a player has a great (and qualifying) hand only to lose to a phenomenal hand. There are so many online tournaments that one group of poker lovers decided it was time to create a site where they could help those who almost make it. As mentioned before, it is an insurance policy. The site is Beat the Bubble and can be found at beatthebubble.com. The idea behind Beat the Bubble is to allow players to play ore aggressively when it comes to the bubble stages. Too many players pull back and play conservatively hoping to just make it out to the rounds where payouts are guaranteed. Knowing that they have a little bit of insurance in their back pocket allows them to go for the win with a little more confidence.
Here is how it works. Players sign up and pay the fee at Beat the Bubble. They must do so before their online poker tournament begins. Once they do they know they can play with confidence. If a player should be knocked out of an online poker tournament at the bubble stage, they stand to win back their initial buy in. Sometimes Beat the Bubble can pay back up to 125 percent of said buy-in minus the fees.
Beat the Bubble covers tournaments that have a minimum of thirty-two players at the time the online poker tournament starts. Operators of Beat the Bubble suggest that players do not sign up if they think the minimum number of players will not be met. The amount paid will be determined on the number of players in the tournament. Beat the Bubble’s site offers tips and rules to how it all works. There is even a Bubble Calculator to help determine what a player has the chance of winning. Beat the Bubble is one of the most innovative advancements in online poker since the Bad Beat. Poker players need confidence to play well. This will help at the most critical bubble stage.
