    If you can see that every other person on your table is extremely tight towards the bubble. How wrong would it be to open raise every hand your first to act in?

    How can it be wrong, when it feels so right.

    the point of this startegy is to take pots down preflop, when resistance is shown postflop u have to fold mediumstrength hands

    i just play normal on the bubble, as too many people employ the maniacal style of raising every hand so i prefer 3betting lagtards

    Generally, if you have this read, its a pretty good idea, especially if you think that you can pick up the blinds/antes uncontested. If you are on a scared tbl that will still flat enough of the time, then I would tighten ur range somewhat or just open shove a wide range from sb/button/lp.

    Problem is that online the bubble generally doesn't last long enough to abuse it too much and to know if ur read is good or if everyone is just picking up raggy hands.

    I think the ft bubble is often the best bubble to abuse because it can last awhile and you'll have a good sense for the tendancies of those players at teh tbl by that point. Unlike the money bubble its also a good idea to start 3betting the other aggro players that you know are trying to abuse the bubble as well. Its a great time to start trusting ur reads and chipping up for the ft. I've found ppl really don't want bubble the ft and will play retardedly tight to make sure they don't.
