Tanking on the bubble

This morning, Shaun Deeb, rarely one for decorum & grace, called out Phil Hellmuth - who probably thinks decorum is wallpaper - for stalling/tanking on the bubble.

There's an interesting side story here. If you had purchased some of Hellmuth's action (or anyone's really) would you approve of them tanking on the bubble?

    From an EV perspective, if the rest of the short stacks in the field are tanking on the bubble and Phil isn't, he is giving an edge away. So if it's my money, tank away Phil.

    The way I see it is every ss is tanking you'd be mad not to. I've always been of the opinion that the clock is a bit like being given a free card when you're drawing. You wouldn't pass that opportunity up so running the clock in that situation is fine by me.

    It's down to the tourny organiser to synch the tables if they want to stop players tanking.

    It's good game strategy and even synching the tables you can run the clock if say you're on the button and a villain is 1 off the button with the blinds increasing and putting them all in one hand before you.

    Played a tourney where the "Master Staller" bubbled or near bubbled once.

    Was more of a "master flouncer" if you ask me..... 🤣😂😎

    Back to the topic on hand.

    Part of the game, I don't agree with Shaun here. Same thing happens on Sky, happens elsewhere etc.
