    ...just listened to a podcast where Howard Lederer claims that in 9 man sng's you should play the bubble really tight.... I've always thought that the opposite was the superior strategy, play aggressive and build your stack while everyone trys to make the money..... thoughts??

    its a combo, widen your shoving range but tighten ur calling range.

    i guess maybe he was refering to calling raises and stuff but i dont think i have to go out of my way to try and defend him.

    in general u should defenitly loosen up on the bubble.

    What does his age have to do with anything? I guess you're saying this because he isn't successful. You're right, I'm sure he knows nothing about playing the bubble just like other older guys like Doyle Brunson and Dan Harrington.
